His wife is Mary Justine Gladstone, who descends from a brother of the first Gladstone Baronet.
Burke's [sub Gladstone] says he was son of "Marquis Raoul de Merindol". Since he was born at San Remo he may have been brother to Daria de Merindol, wife of Count Alexander Shouvalov. Daria was also born at San Remo. He may also have been brother of Melise Marie de Merindol, who married Thomas Francis Hubbard (nephew of Lord Addington). Melise is also described as "daughter of Marquis de Merindol".
