Ann JOLLIFFE or NORTHEY ca.1662-1743

Northey's bookplate in its reworked state (British Museum Franks Collection *465)

Biographical Note

Daughter of John Jolliffe, a wealthy London merchant and MP. In 1687 she married Edward Northey (1652-1723), later attorney-general, knighted in 1702; they had 5 children (including William and Edward), and she outlived him by 20 years.

Books

The extent and disposition of her library are not known; in his will, her husband left her life interests in various properties and "glasses prints pictures or books"; she was also to have use of "the prints of the Battles of Alexander in my house at Epsom".

Characteristic Markings

Northey used an engraved armorial bookplate dated 1703, on which she is described as "wife of Sr. Edward Northey Knight"; it exists in two variant states, with some of the heraldry reworked (Franks *387/*465).
