Augustus Gosling

Augustus Gosling was the 3rd Duke of Leighton. Despite being exceedingly handsome, he was rumored to have all the personality and charm of a rock.

In a move that rather surprised the London social scene, he married quiet little bluestocking Helen Gosling and the couple produced three children: Andrew in 1745, Augusta in 1747 and surprise lucky last Elinor in 1760.
