Lady Marjorie with Captain Hammond, 1906

The Lady Marjorie Helen Sybil Bellamy (nee Talbot-Carey; 6 May 1860 or 12 July 1864 – 15 April 1912) is a fictional character in the ITV drama Upstairs, Downstairs. The character was a regular member of the show in series one and two, and a guest in series three. She was portrayed by Rachel Gurney, who initially declined the role.[1]

Backstory

In the narrative of Upstairs, Downstairs, Lady Marjorie was born on 6 May 1860 (according to the episode "A Family Gathering") or 12 July 1864 (according to the episode "Desirous of Change") at Southwold, Wiltshire, to Walter Talbot-Carey, 12th Earl of Southwold and Mabel, the Countess of Southwold. She had one brother, Hugo, and a paternal aunt, uncle and cousin.

The character was married to Richard Bellamy (portrayed by David Langton) in 1880 and had two children, James (portrayed by Simon Williams) and Elizabeth (portrayed by Nicola Pagett).

At the end of the second series, the character departed the show by boarding RMS Titanic, after which she was presumed dead.[1]
