context_page_description: George William Stafford-Jerningham, 8th Baron Stafford, known as Sir George William Jerningham, 7th Baronet from 1809 to 1824, was a British peer who, in 1824, successfully obtained a reversal of the attainder of the barony of Stafford.
context_section_description: Lord Stafford was twice married. His first marriage was on 26 December 1799 to Frances Henrietta Sulyarde (1776–1832), youngest daughter and co-heirss of Edward Sulyarde of Haughley Hall and the former Susanna Ravenscroft (eldest daughter and co-heiress of John Ravenscroft of Wykeham). Before her death on 14 November 1832, they were the parents of six sons and six daughters, including:
  Hon. Charlotte Georgina Stafford-Jerningham (1800–1876), who married Thomas Fraser, 12th Lord Lovat, in 1823.
  Henry Valentine Stafford-Jerningham, 9th Baron Stafford (1802–1884).
  Hon. Edward Stafford-Jerningham (1804–1849), who married Marianne Smyth (d. 1859), daughter of John Smythe, Esq., in 1828.
  Hon. Sir George Sulyarde Stafford-Jerningham (1806–1874), who served as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Sweden from 1859 to 1872.
  Hon. Charles William Stafford-Jerningham (1807–1884), a Lieutenant in the 6th Dragoon Guards who died unmarried.
  Hon. Laura Maria Stafford-Jerningham (1811–1886), who married Hon. Robert Edward Petre MP, eldest son of Robert Petre, 9th Baron Petre and, his second wife, Juliana Barbara Howard (sister of Bernard Howard, 12th Duke of Norfolk), in 1829.
  Hon. William George Stafford-Jerningham (1812–1874), who served as Minister Resident at Lima in Peru from 1857 to 1874 and who married Eglantina Narcissa Elmore, daughter of Frederick Augustus Elmore of Lima, in 1860.
  Hon. Francis Hugh Joseph Stafford-Jerningham (1814–1874), who died unmarried.
  The couple lived at Haughley Hall until 1809 when he inherited his father's title and estate. They moved to the Jerningham family seat of Costessey Hall and lived there for the rest of their lives. Haughley Hall was sold to William Crawford in about 1816. From 1826 to 1836, J. C. Buckler built a Gothic castle at Costessey for Lord Stafford which was several times larger than the original Tudor hall.
  After Frances' death in 1832, he married Elizabeth Caton (1790–1862), second daughter Richard Caton and Mary Carroll Caton (a daughter of Charles Carroll of Carrollton), on 26 May 1836. One of her sisters, Marianne, was the second wife of Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquess Wellesley. Another, Louisa, was the wife of Sir Felton Hervey-Bathurst, 1st Baronet and, after his death, Francis D'Arcy-Osborne, 7th Duke of Leeds. The youngest was Emily Caton, wife of John McTavish, the Scottish born British Consul at Baltimore.
  Lord Stafford died on 4 October 1851 and was buried at Cossey, Norfolk. He was succeeded in the baronetcy and barony by his eldest son, Henry. Lady Stafford died eleven years later on 29 October 1862.
