Lady Georgiana Russell. Engraved on steel by H. T. Ryall after E. Landseer. 1840

LADY GEORGINA RUSSEL('S REEL). AKA - "Lady Georgina Russell's Reel." Scottish, Reel (cut time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Biography:William Marshall (1748-1833). Moyra Cowie (The Life and Times of William Marshall, 1999) identifies Lady Georgina (?-1867) as the eldest child and daughter of Lady Georgianna Gordon and John Russell, the 6th Duke of Bedford, Woburn Abbey. She was thus the grand-daughter of Marshall's employer, Alexander, the 4th Duke of Gordon, for whom Marshall worked as Steward of the Household. Georgina married Charles Romilly. Her portrait was engraved by H.T. Ryall (after E. Landseer), around 1840. She liked to ride to the hunt, according to this entry in the New Sporting Magazine for 1836: [Ampthill Park, 1835] "Lady Georgina Russell honoured the field this morning, and rode a beautiful thorough-bred chestnut." She married Charles Romilly in 1842.
