Family
Parents
Born to the impoverished Baron of Roth, Lawrence Burstow, and his long-suffering wife, Alexandra Burstow.
Siblings
Marion was the second of three children, being preceded by her elder sister Katherine Tolson, and followed by her younger brother, Samuel Burstow
Spouse
Marion married Edmond Landon in 1787, the same year as her debut. The marriage was one of convenience for her; the Burstow family was surrounded in scandal at the time, and she had almost no dowry. Over time, however, she has grown to love her husband, though he certainly lacks the tenacity that Marion possesses.
Children
Elizabeth "Ella" Landon (nee Chatswick) (daughter-in-law)
