George Sparrow

In St Margaret's church Westminster is a memorial tablet to George Sparrow, Government agent, and members of his family. Unfortunately this is now hidden behind the organ. The inscription reads: 

Sacred to the memory of George Sparrow Esqr. "murdered" in Sicily when on a special mission for the British Government in 1807 and of Mary Sparrow his widow who died 20th Febr. 1830 aged 68. Also of Sigismunda Hannah their daughter who died 1843 aged 48. This tablet is erected by Margaret Elizabeth last surviving child of the above named George & Mary Sparrow, in commemoration of the death of her beloved parents and sister, and who anxiously looks forward to their reunion, through the merits of the blessed Redeemer

Mary the wife was buried in the church and lived in Downing Street.
