HC Deb 14 July 1820 vol 2 cc472-3
Mr. P. Moore

presented a petition from Olive Serres Wilmot. The petitioner stated herself to be the legtimate daughter of the late duke of Cumberland; she asserted that she possessed a document to prove the solemnization of a marriage between her mother (who was Julia Wilmot, the daughter of the late Dr. Wilmot) and the late duke of Cumberland, in 1767. The duke had subsequently married another lady, on account of which his marriage with the petitioner's mother was concealed. From this cause the petitioner, who was born in 1772, had been deprived of property which should have descended to her. She stated that she possessed a document with the sign-manual of his late majesty, acknowledging the validity of the marriage of her mother.—Ordered to lie on the table.
