The 3rd earl of Charleville inherited the bad debts of previous generations. Prior to his succession, he was a lieutenant of 43rd foot and married Arabella Case in 1850. They had five children, but on returning to Charleville in 1851, numerous tragedies befell the family. Arabella died in 1857 from scarletina at the age of 35 years, and two years later, in 1859, the earl died at the age of 37. Their five young children, all minors and now wards of Chancery, were left in the care of their uncle, the Hon Alfred Bury and his wife, at Charleville Castle. In 1861, in a tragic accident, their seven year old daughter Lady Harriet Bury, fell to her death while attempting to slide down the banisters in the castle.

Harriet Charlotte Beaujolois Cambell, third daughter of Col John Campbell and Lady Charlotte Campbell, married the 2nd earl of Charleville in Florence in 1826.

Her mother, Lady Charlotte Susan Maria Campbell (later Lady Charlotte Bury after a second marriage), was also a writer. Harriet had five children with Charles William, two of whom would succeed to the earldom: her eldest son, Charles William George and her third eldest son, Alfred, who succeeded as the 5th earl of Charleville when his nephew died in 1874. She died in Naples in 1848, predeceasing her husband by three years.

As Emily Frances and Albert had no children, the peerage became extinct on his death.
