This article needs careful evaluation against the 2004 ODNB as well as other sources, as it may be an unusably close paraphrase. Consider the following hits: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] & [10]. I have blanked pending further investigation. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:55, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article clearly infringes on the ODNB. Compare the following single example from the source:

The death of her father brought her into possession of vast estates in co. Durham but also into conflict with her mother. Hence Frances Anne was made a ward in chancery, and at thirteen was given her own establishment and had her first love affair (with the brother of a suitor of her mother). By the time she was sixteen she had been the object of proposals from Lord O'Neil (twice her age) and the duke of Leinster, who had travelled over from Ireland specifically to inspect the heiress.

To the text placed in the article:

The death of her father brought her into possession of vast estates in County Durham, including Wynyard Park and the manors of Barmston, Gilligate and portions of Hendon and Offerton, but also into conflict with her mother.[1][2][3][4][5] Frances Anne was hence made a ward in chancery, and at thirteen was given her own establishment and had her first love affair (with the brother of a suitor of her mother).[5] By the time she was sixteen she had been the object of proposals from Lord O'Neill (twice her age) and the Duke of Leinster, who had travelled over from Ireland specifically to inspect the heiress.
