Early Life (1792-1810)
Julianne Theodora Grafton was born the third (second surviving) daughter of Thomas Grafton, 2nd Marquess of Raulings and his second wife, Theodora Grafton. She was born at Raulings Park in Leicestershire on February 14, 1792. She is the couple's sixth child, with older brothers Henry and Richard (twins born January 1786) and an infant brother Lord Thomas Grafton (stillborn, March 6, 1787) preceding her, as well as an older sister Katharine, later Countess of Carrington, and an infant sister Lady Theodora Grafton (born April 19, 1790 and died June 2, 1790). The couple each had a son from a previous marriage: William Grafton, Earl of Bridgeton, from her father's first marriage and John Quinn, Duke of Wycombe, from her mother's first marriage.
Julianne was always small and very delicate, and a brush with death due to a bout of scarlet fever in 1799 ensured that all members of the family treated Julianne as a semi-invalid, despite the fact that she is now fully recovered and as healthy as any debutante. As a result of her frequent illnesses as a girl, she was often forced to miss out of family outings.
While Kate was out with the boys, Julianne stayed indoors with her cat. The two girls were, however, educated together by private tutors at Raulings Park. The two girls were, however, educated together by private tutors at Raulings Park. Julianne is well versed in French and German, as well as music, watercolors, and embroidery. Her brothers have likened her singing voice to a dying crow, though she has a fair talent with the pianoforte.
