The Runaway Bride, page 30
In 1831 Ellen went into labour with their third child, but tragically, both she and her son died.
Her death was reported in the newspapers, and the account in Bell’s Life in London read: Mrs Legh, the lady of T. Legh Esq. MP, died last week. This was the lady about whom so much interest was excited four years since, in consequence of her abduction by Mr Wakefield. Ellen was unable to shake the notoriety, even in death.
