Sir Francis Holburne

Sir Francis Holburne, 4th Baronet of Menstrie (1752-1820)

Francis Holburne inherited the family title from his cousin Sir Alexander, 3rd Baronet, in 1772. Francis married Alicia (or Alice) Brayne (1766-1829) in 1786 and they lived in Lower Sketty near Swansea. They moved to Bath in 1801 to Lansdown Crescent (now 7 Lansdown Place West), where their family connection to the Lascelles would have been socially important.

Very little is known about Francis, his wife and two of their daughters, Alicia (1789-1871) and Catherine (1792-1873).
