Baroness de Calabrella : ウィキペディア英語版 | Baroness de Calabrella
The "Baroness de Calabrella" (c. 1788 – 6 October 1856, Paris〔"The Annual Register, or a View of the History and Politics of the Year 1856", London, F. & J. Rivington, 1857, p. 275 (Appendix)〕), born Catherine Ball, was an English socialite, journalist, and writer. ==Family== Catherine was born in December 1787, the daughter of David and Sarah Ball of Bishop's Hall, Lambourne, Essex. Her grandmother Ruth had, for her second marriage, married Admiral Edward Hughes, who had obtained a large fortune. However, with the deaths of Catherine's uncle Henry Ball (1792), Admiral Hughes (1794), her father (1798) and her grandmother (1800), the money was left to David Ball's children – mostly to the only son, Edward (1798–1863), but substantial sums to Catherine and her sisters Ruth and Sydney. The family may have moved to Admiral Hughes' former residence on Portland Place in London after her father's death. Sometime later her mother remarried, to a man named Thomas Johnson. Her brother Edward, youngest of the family (ten years her junior), became the famously wealthy dandy and gambler known as "The Golden Ball". Her 1843 book ''Prism of Imagination'' is dedicated to ''"E. H. Ball Hughes, Esq., by his much-attached and affectionate sister, (the Baroness) E. C. De Calabrella"''.〔The Maclise portrait-gallery of "illustrious literary characters", William Bates, London, Chatto & Windus, 1891, p. 289〕
