Together, they were the parents of four sons and eight daughters, including:[5] On 1 January 1839, at age 57, Lord Norbury was shot six times by his butler (who may have been associated with the Ribbonmen) at his home, Durrow Abbey (sometimes called Castle Durrow) in Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland.
