Jurist Who Co Founded Memphis

The Majoribanks family was the upper crust of English and Scottish society, the stern Sir Dudley Coutts Majoribanks the 1st Baron of Tweedmouth. A leading politician, he was a businessman and landowner, with interests in dog breeding. The third daughter of Majoribanks was Ishbel Maria, born on March 14, 1857. Her name was the Gaelic version of Isabelle, her mother’s name. Raised in a comfortable London, England home with four brothers and sisters, Ishbel was a precocious child, curious, studious and full of spirit. While her good education and status gave her great advantage, Ishbel placed great importance on the welfare of others, no matter their place in society.

Miss Majoribanks Became Lady Aberdeen

Politics fascinated young Ishbel and there was no shortage of political discussions with her father’s colleagues in her childhood home in Scotland. One of the visitors to the Majoribanks home caught Ishbel’s attention – John Campbell Hamilton-Gordon, the Earl of Aberdeen. The courtship was long. Lord Aberdeen, ten years her senior, was unsure of his desires. After several years, he realized his love for Ishbel, and they wed on November 7, 1877. Ishbel was now Lady Aberdeen, and her home was Haddo House, an expansive home on 1,400 acres in Aberdeenshire in northeast Scotland.

Encompassing several villages, the properties of Lord Aberdeen were home to hundreds of workers and their families. Ishbel started programs to raise the living standards of servants and tenants. Holding classes at the Household Club, servants could enjoy “a singing class by our head forester; a carving class led by our governess; a drawing class led by our nurse, and a home reading circle led by a neighbouring schoolmaster,” Ishbel was quoted by Doris French in “Ishbel and the Empire: A Biography of Lady Aberdeen”. The Club held regular musical events and readings.
