Molyneux is a French surname. The surname has been linked primarily to a large French family that settled in Lancashire, England. By the 14th century the Molyneux family had split into three main branches; the Lancashire line, who became the Earls of Sefton, the Nottingham line, and the Calais line, from those remaining in France. There was also a branch of the family who were Irish baronets.
Goldsmid is the name of a family of Anglo-Jewish bankers who sprang from Aaron Goldsmid, a Dutch merchant who settled in England around 1763. Two of his sons, Benjamin Goldsmid and Abraham Goldsmid, began business together around 1777 as bill-brokers in London. They became great powers in the money market during the Napoleonic Wars through their dealings with the government. In 1810, Abraham Goldsmid was joint contractor with the Barings for a government loan, but owing to a depreciation of the scrip, he was forced into bankruptcy and committed suicide. His brother, in a fit of depression, had similarly taken his own life two years before. Both were noted for their public and private generosity, and both played major roles in funding and managing the Naval Asylum – later renamed the Royal Naval Asylum. Benjamin left four sons, the youngest being Lionel Prager Goldsmid, and a daughter Mary Ann Goldsmid who married Timothy Yeats Brown in 1812; Abraham left a daughter, Isabel Goldsmid.

Sir Nathaniel Barnardiston of Kedington, alias Ketton, Suffolk was an English landowner, magistrate and senior representative of a long-established knightly family, one of the wealthiest in Suffolk, who sat in the House of Commons for Sudbury twice and for the Shire three times between 1625 and 1648. Of Parliamentarian sympathies, he was considered an exceptional example of Christian piety in personal character and in the management of his household and of the parishes under his patronage, as much as in his rectitude and even-handedness in his public service, and in his loyalty to his nation despite his opposition to the policies of King Charles I. John Burke remarked that he was "esteemed the greatest ornament of his family", and cited Samuel Fairclough, who called him "one of the most eminent patriots of his time, and the twenty-third knight of his family". J.P. Ferris observed, "As a strong parliamentarian and a Presbyterian elder he was the dominant figure in Civil War Suffolk".
