| 3. | Queen of England Victoria Hanover (2.Edward2, 1.Charlotte1) was born on 24 May 1819 in Kensington Palace, London, England; died on 22 Jan 1901 in Osborne House, Isle of Wight, England; was buried in Royal Mausoleum, Frogmore, Berkshire, England. Notes:

Her 63 year reign was the longest in the history of England. Her descendants, including 40 grandchildren, married into almost every royal family of Europe. With her personal example of honesty, patriotism and devotion to family life, Victoria became a living symbol of the solidity of the British Empire. The many years of her reign, often referred to as the Victorian age, witnessed the rise of middle class and were marked by a deeply conservative morality and intense nationalism. She was obsessed with the collecting of memorabilia of her family. She mourned her late husband, Albert, for more than 40 years.

Albert was born on 26 Aug 1819 in Schloss Rosenau near Coburg, Germany; died on 14 Dec 1861 in Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England; was buried in Royal Mausoleum, Frogmore, Windsor, England.
