Lord St George went to Naples with his wife and daughter to recover his health, but died there on 19 December 1774.1 William Hamilton immediately emphasised to his nephew Charles Greville the charms of the surviving daughter, Emilia Olivia (d. 1798, who m. 1775 the 2nd Duke of Leinster): 'a fine girl', whose father had 'left her clear 6000£ per ann. She dances admirably, & is accomplished, le nez un peu retrouss?'.2
After her husband's death, Lady St George appears to have spent much time in Italy. She was in Rome at Easter 1775, living by the Strada Frattina.3 She was in Florence in December 1783,4 and in Venice in May 1788.5 By September 1790, when she was in Pisa, she had married again, a chevalier Ducours [Destours].6 In 1790 Mrs Barry dedicated to her Maria, a Persian Slave. From November 1791 to April 1792 she was again in Venice, from 17 March 1792 accompanied by 'il cav. d'Attur[?Ducours] Francese'.7
