Charles John Thomas Conolly was the grandson of Charles Conolly (c1759-1828), an Irish lawyer who, having made a fortune as a barrister at the Chancery Court in London, bought Midford Castle near Bath in about 1810. He also bought a large acreage of farming land and woodland in the Bradford Hundred, mainly around Conkwell, Winsley.

Charles John Thomas Conolly’s wife, Louisa Margaret Catherine Brancaccio (1823-1899), was the daughter of Nicolà Maria Brancaccio, Marchese di Rivello, Principe di Ruffano and his wife Margherita, daughter of Guglielmo Dotto Dauli. She was created Marchesa di Sant’ Agata in her own right in 1857 by Ferdinando II, King of the Two Sicilies and she was listed under that title at Cottles in the Census of 1871, with seven servants, but after Charles’ death, she moved to Midford Castle in 1874, and died there. Charles and Louisa married in 1840 in her native Naples, but had no children.
