1st January 1847. London Gazette. The Queen has been pleased to appoint George Edward Anson (age 34), Esq. to be the Keeper of Her Majesty's Privy Purse, in the room of Major General Sir Henry Wheatley, resigned.
Before 8th October 1849 George Edward Anson (age 37) was appointed Treasurer of the Household to HRH Prince Albert, Treasurer and Cofferer of the Household of HRH the Prince of Wales, a member of the Council of the Duchy of Lancaster and of the Prince of Wales's Council for the Duchy of Cornwall.
On 8th October 1849 George Edward Anson (age 37) died at New Lodge, Hanbury [Map].
Gentleman's Magazine. November 1849. George Edward Anson (deceased), Esq. Oct, 8. At Needwood, Staffordshire, aged 37, George Edward Anson, esq. Keeper of Her Majesty's Privy Purse, Treasurer of the Household to H.R.H. Prince Albert, Treasurer and Cofferer of the Household of H.R. H. the Prince of Wales, a member of the Council of the Duchy of Lancaster, and of the Prince of Wales's Council for the Duchy of Cornwall; Axe-keeper and Master of the Game in Needwood Forest,
Mr, Anson was born on the 14th May, 1812, the second son of the Very Rev. [his father] Frederick Anson (age 70), D.D. Dean of Chester (youngest brother of the first Viscount Anson), by Anne, only daughter of the Rev. Richard Levett, of Milford, Staffordshire. His elder brother is the Rev. Frederick Anson, formerly Fellow of All Souls', Oxford, now a Canon of Windsor, and Rector of Sudbury, Derbyshire.
Mr. Anson was (together with his elder brother) admitted a scholar at Rugby, under Dr. Wooll, in the year 1826.
He was appointed a junior clerk in the Treasury in 1835, and was afterwards for some time private secretary to Lord Viscount Melbourne when premier. His Lordship recommended him to fill the same office to H.R.H. Prince Albert on Her Majesty's marriage in Feb. 1840 ; when he also received the appointment of Treasurer to his Royal Highness. On the formation of the household of H.R. H. the Prince of Wales he was made his Treasurer and Cofferer, March 10, 1843 ; and on the resignation of Sir Henry Wheatley he received the further appointment, dated Jan. 1, 1247, of Keeper of ler Majesty's Privy Purse, to which is attached the salary of £2,000 ber annum. He then resigned his office of Private Sccretary to the Prince Consort. On the 13th Feb. following he was sworn a member of the Council of the Duchy of Lancaster, under which he held his offices in the Forest of Needwood.
In his arduous and responsible position, he acquitted himself with a tact and judgment that proved the extent of his caabilities. The political duties entailed on Royalty are performed under the advice and guidance of the constitutional advisers of the Crown ; but there are onerous affairs connected with the domestic circle of Her Majesty and of her illustrious Consort exacting extreme delicacy and judicious foresight, and Mr. Auson exhibited these qualities in an eminent degree. He had the strength of mind to be a faithful and conscientious adviser of the Court; and, whilst he was a most devoted and loyal servant, he never forgot what were the true interests of Royalty. His courtesy and urbanity in the exercise of his difficult and multifarious functions will be pleasurably recollected by all those persons who had occasion to hold communication with him. He was an elegant and accomplished scholar, and was much attached, even in the midst of his heavy duties, to literature and the fine arts. His premature death is a matter of deep regret to his Royal patrons, and to his acquaintance of all shades of political opinion.
He had attended the Queen and the Prince Consort throughout their late visit to Ireland, remained in the Royal suite at Balmoral, and accompanied Her Majesty as far as Derby; he then took leave in order to join Mrs. Anson, at Needwood, where his death ensued a few hours after a fit of apoplexy, but which was not the first from which he had suffered.
Mr. Anson married, Oct. 2, 1827, the Hon. Georgiana Mary Harbord, sister to Lord Suffield, anda Bedchamber Woman to Her Majesty ; by whom he leaves no issue.
His portrait has been given in the Illustrated London News of the 20th Oct.
