Does anyone have any information concerning George Murray Pratt born 1843 died 1922.

Hi Annem

I'm sure have all this, but I found it interesting anyway, so posting as others may also find it so:

Pratt, George Murray
Born: 14 JAN 1843
Died: 14 OCT 1922
Father: Pratt, George Charles, Marquess Camden 2nd, b. 2 MAY 1799
Mother: Murray, Harriet

George's Older brother John inherited the title as 3rd Marquess Camden and was married to a Spencer-Churchill (does that bring in Princess Diana's family to their tree?)

If you follow the Father down to present day, via the lines of heirship of the title, you get to names of present day  - then perhaps you can obtain an image of him by trying to formally approach one of them?

There are portraits of his grandfather here, including a good bust:

There are photo's of his brother's son, the Marquess Camden 4th here:

Dear AMBLY
Thank you so much for replying.
I have everything I could find on G M Pratt, but hadn't the photo of the 4 th Marquess. So again Thank you.
I had thought of attempting to contact the present family but so far haven't had the nerve.
Best Wishes Anne
