Portrait of "Miss Georgina Herbert" by Sir William Beechey in 1793.
From opposite p.126 in [Roberts, 1907]. See text on p.33.
Roberts says it was then (1907) owned by Rev. Thomas Crawford of Bolnacraig, Perth.
He also says a version of this picture was then (1907) owned by the 3rd Earl of Ducie at Tortworth Court, South Gloucestershire.
(The Earl of Ducie's family left Tortworth Court before WW2. Tortworth Court became a prison and later became derelict.)

Augustus Reebkomp's will of June 1796 leaves his watch to "Georgiana Herbert" who he is clear is the sister of Henry Herbert, 1st Earl of Carnarvon.
He describes it as: "my repeating watch with the picture of Lady Pembroke and Lord Herbert on the back of it". (This would be 11th Earl and his mother.)
