MRS Hannah Rose Griffith, who passed away after a brief illness on the 10th inst at “Danby Lodge,” Somerville, was born nearly a century ago at Bangor, Wales.
She was one of six daughters of the late James Courtney Cottingham. She had two brothers, one being Judge James Cottingham, of Manchester, and the other, Christopher Cottingham, the Editor of the “Mercantile & Shipping Gazette,” London, whilst her cousins were Sir Hercules Robinson (later Earl Rosemead) and Sir William Robinson, Governor of NSW and later of Victoria.
Her early life was spent in Dublin. She was tutored with her friend, Lady Ann Fitzgerald, at the Duchess of Leinster’s home. She was both accomplished and fascinating, and for some time was considered to be one of the belles of Dublin.

In the States yesterday, Chief Minister Peter Ferbrache gave a general update on behalf of the Policy & Resources Committee, saying there was no time or money for vanity projects, and spending would have to be rigorously and ruthlessly prioritised.
In response to a question from Deputy John Gollop, Deputy Ferbrache gave the assisted dying debate as an example of a previous ‘vanity project’.
The trust also accepted that had questions been asked when Mrs Griffiths raised concerns to a midwife over the phone then Pippa would have been taken to hospital, in all likelihood leading to her receiving treatment and surviving.
Ms Davies said the details of the report had left her shocked. She said: “I felt physically sick. I had to literally get up and go outside to get some fresh air and then go back through it slowly.
“Every single time it says a baby died it is very upsetting. You know your own case inside out but to see the trauma that other families have been subjected to is physically sickening.”
