Line 1: '''Rose ffrench, 1st Baroness ffrench''' (died 8 December 1805) was an [[Ireland\|Irish]] [[peerage\|peeress]]. The eldest daughter of Patrick Dillon of [[Roscommon]], she married, on 25 June 1761, [[Sir Charles ffrench, 1st Baronet]] (cr.1779), who was later Mayor of [[Galway]]. He died in 1784. In 1798, Lady ffrench was created '''Baroness ffrench''', of Castle ffrench, County Galway in recognition of the services of her son, [[Thomas ffrench, 2nd Baron ffrench\|Sir Thomas ffrench, 2nd Bt.]], who was a member of the Catholic Committee. Because she was nominally [[Protestant]], the creation was in keeping with [[George III of the United Kingdom\|King George III's]] objection to ~~promoting~~elevating [[Roman Catholicism\|Catholics]] to the peerage. Upon her decease, her Catholic son [[Thomas ffrench, 2nd Baron ffrench\|Sir Thomas]] inherited the barony. ==References==
