Henry CavendishFRS (10 October 1731 – 24 February 1810) was a British natural philosopher, scientist, and an important experimental and theoretical chemist and physicist. Cavendish is noted for his discovery of hydrogen or what he called "inflammable air". He described the density of inflammable air, which formed water on combustion, in a 1766 paper "On Factitious Airs". Antoine Lavoisier later reproduced Cavendish's experiment and gave the element its name.
A notoriously shy man (it has been postulated that he was autistic), Cavendish was nonetheless distinguished for great accuracy and precision in his researches into the composition of atmospheric air, the properties of different gases, the synthesis of water, the law governing electrical attraction and repulsion, a mechanical theory of heat, and calculations of the density (and hence the mass) of the Earth. His experiment to measure the density of the Earth has come to be known as the Cavendish experiment.
Henry Cavendish Taylor (5 January 1822 – 31 October 1901) was an Englishcricketer. Taylor's batting style is unknown. He was born at Chyknell Hall in Claverley, Shropshire, and later changed his fullname to Henry Cavendish, losing his surname Taylor.
Taylor made a single first-class appearance for Sussex against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge in 1843. Nottinghamshire made 326 runs in their first-innings, with Sussex making just 33 in response, with Taylor being dismissed for 7 by William Clarke. Following-on in their second-innings, Sussex substantially improved in making 262 all out, with Taylor, who opened the batting in this innings, being dismissed for a duck by Sam Redgate. Despite their improved showing, Sussex still lost the match by an innings and 31 runs.
He married Selina Elizabeth Gage on 22 July 1862, with their marriage lasting until their divorce in 1872. The couple had one child, Edith Selina Cavendish. He died at Chyknell Hall on 31 October 1901.
General Henry Frederick Compton Cavendish (5 November 1789 – 5 April 1873) was a British soldier, politician and courtier. He was the third son of George Cavendish, 1st Earl of Burlington and Lady Elizabeth Compton.
In 1812 he entered Parliament for Derby, a seat which he held until 1835. In 1837, he was appointed Chief Equerry and Clerk Marshal to Queen Victoria, but resigned the post in 1841. On 2 June 1853 he was appointed colonel of The Queen's Bays, a post he held until his death.
He married 3 times:
to Sarah Fawkener, daughter of William Augustus Fawkener (died c. November 1817) on 24 October 1811 and had four children:
Elizabeth Georgiana Harriett Cavendish (12 Jan 1812- 3 January 1892), married first William Bernard Harcourt, Marquis d'Harcourt, and second Lt.-Gen. James Robertson Craufurd
Lt.-Col. William Henry Frederick Cavendish (31 October 1817–11 March 1881), married Lady Emily Augusta Lambton, daughter of John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham, and had issue
