Notes for William Shore SMITH LATWR NIGHTINGALE
Landowner of Embley Park, Hampshire, and Lea Hurst, Derbyshire
He married Louisa Ellen Hutchins [1829-] in 1859. She was the daughter of Samuel Hutchins and Frances Camac.
He took the name of Nightingale when he inherited property from his uncle William Edward Nightingale [Florence Nightingale's father]. William Edward Nightingale had inherited the estate through an entail, this meant that upon his death the estate could not be sold or be bequeathed, it had to be kept in the family. Therefore upon his death the estate would pass to a son if there was one, or to the son of his nearest descendant, so it would continue in the family.
