She obtained a divorce by Act of Parliament from her first husband( who was also her cousin), Charles Daly of Loughrea, in order to marry Lord Kerry.
The marriage caused much comment, most of it adverse: apart from the need to divorce her previous husband, a step which was still felt by many in polite society to be scandalous, Anastasia was much older than her husband, socially she was not his equal, and she was a Roman Catholic.
LIke her husband she was extravagant, and she was blamed by his family for her husband's disastrous financial losses.
Nonetheless the inscription which he had placed on her tomb in Westminster Abbey makes it clear that he never regretted marrying her: it states that for 31 years she made him" the happiest of mankind", due to her" charity, benevolence, truth, sincerity, meekness and simplicity".
Others who knew the couple took a more jaundiced view:
Horace Walpole called Lord Kerry" a simple young Irish peer that has married an elderly Irishwoman, who was divorced on his account, and wasted a vast estate on the idlest ostentation."
The Earl's cousin and heir William Petty, 2nd Earl of Shelburne wrote uncharitably that" he fell in love with a married lady twenty years older than himself, the daughter of an eminent Roman Catholic lawyer, and she having obtained a divorce, married her-[ she was] an extraordinarily vain person.
Having their way to fight up into good society, and having no children, they sold every acre of land that had been in our family since Henry II's time".
Lady Kerry died on 9 April 1799.
Her husband died in 1818 and was buried in the same tomb in Westminster Abbey.
