1st Lady Conway of Allington, Kent, England. She was the daughter of Charles Lambard. She married William Martin Conway, 1st and last Baron Conway of Allington, son of Reverend William Conway and Elizabeth Martin, on 10 June 1884. Conway met Katrina, the only child of Charles Lambard, of Augusta, Maine, builder of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, and stepdaughter of Manton Marble, an investor and former editor and owner of the New York World. He was already engaged to Rose Shakespear, but he broke this engagement, ostensibly on religious grounds, and married Katrina at Marble's home, 532 Fifth Avenue, New York, on 10 June 1884. Supported by Katrina's family, the couple moved to Park Street, London, where their only child, Agnes Conway, was born on 2 May 1885. In 1924 Conway began a love affair with Monica Hadow, a divorcée forty-four years his junior with whom he worked, but this ended when she remarried in 1930. When his wife died, she left her estate, including Allington Castle, to their daughter, although Conway continued to live there and at Westminster.
