[edit] Grave of Mrs. Fitzherbert's son in George S.A.?
There is a secret grave in a clearing about a hundred yards inside the forest near George in South Africa. I have visited it. There were no signposts to it and no one talked about it. We were told about it by a long time resident and were guided to it in 1960 and told it was the grave of of the son of a roman catholic woman married to the heir to the throne of England. They said when the illegal marriage became known to the royal family the woman was pensioned off to S.A. with her child. I always assumed the woman was Mrs. Fitzherbert. Why is there no mention of this part of Mrs. Fitzherbert's life in the article? Was I incorrectly informed? Has any one else heard about, or this visited, this grave?

There appears to be a problem with the claim that Maria Fitzherbert was the mother of Charles William Molyneux, 1st Earl of Sefton. The Wiki link takes us to a page for him, but he was apparently born in 1748, before Maria's own birthdate. I hadn't heard that Maria and George IV had had a son together. Could this be an error?68.72.96.122 (talk) 19:04, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
