Chatterton, Georgiana, Lady, 1806-1876. Maiden name: Iremonger. Wrote under the name Georgiana Chatterton. Author and traveller. The first edition of her Rambles in the South of Ireland (1839) sold out within a few weeks. Other works include a travel account of the Spanish Pyrenees. She also published novels, devotional works, translations and memoirs. 'As a travel writer she often has a humanitarian and reconciliatory purpose' (Orlando).
Her first husband, Sir William Chatterton of Castlemahon, Co. Cork, having lost his rents as a consequence of the famine of 1845-52, the couple retired to England. Lady Chatterton’s second husband was Edward Heneage Dering whom she married in 1859. They both later converted to Catholicism. Sources: G. C.
