16. The Victorians / A N Wilson. — London : Hutchinson, 2002. — p.188. — Urquhart was born in 1805, not 1795, so he married aged 49 yrs, not 59. The implication that he may not have been heterosexual has not been found elsewhere and is not substantiated by Wilson. Perhaps he was thinking of Urquhart's son Francis Fortescue, known as Sligger?
