AuthorFremantle, Elizabeth; Fremantle, AnneDescriptionThe diaries of Elizabeth Fremantle (nee Wynne). The diaries cover the period from 1789 - 1820, covering the period from Elizabeth's childhood "abroad" (first in Italy then in Switzerland) through her married life, until her husband's death. During her childhood, the Wynne family travelled from country to country, as the French Revolutionary Armies grew closer, and eventually were evacuated aboard the British ship, the Inconstant, where Elizabeth (Betsey), met and fell in love with the captain of the "Inconstant" - Thomas Francis Fremantle. Elizabeth and Capt. Thomas Fremantle married, and were the parents of Capt. Charles Howe Fremantle. The diaries continue with Elizabeth's life at home, and also gives many of Thomas Fremantle's letters home to Betsey, and some extracts of his diaries kept at sea.
