Title Summary
Second wife of Sir Robert Pigot, Member of Parliament for Bridgnorth, 1832-1853.
Entries chiefly describe Lady Pigot's emotions concerning her unhappy marriage, involvement with her lover--Captain Glastonbury Neville, Royal Engineers--, and guilt feelings. After he was killed in action in India on Jan. 31, 1858, she wrote often of her intense grief. Early entries pre-date her marriage, and some reflect her social life. Dates are generally erratic and incomplete, and some comments were written in 1866 over earlier text.
