Emma Fitzgerald

Mrs. Fitzgerald was born Miss Emma Prewett and was the daughter of a wealthy cotton manufacturer. She brought with her a dowry of £10,000 when she married The Honourable John Fitzgerald for the promise of aristocratic connections. She lives in Russell Square with her lawyer husband and has four children: John, Lucy, Helen and Percy. She is keen to use her husband's connections to the nobility in 1812 to give Lucy a London season and hopefully make an advantageous marriage.
