Geraldine Georgiana Mary Hervey, Marchioness of Bristol (1843 – 25 January 1927), was the daughter of Maj.-Gen. Hon. George Anson, who was later Commander-in-Chief, India, in 1856.

On 4 March 1862, she married Frederick Hervey, Lord Jermyn (the son and heir of the 2nd Marquess of Bristol), in St. George's Church, Hanover Square, London, and they later had two daughters:

Lady Katherine Adine Geraldine, Mrs. Drummond (d. 1 November 1948)
Lady Alice Adeliza (d. 27 August 1962), married Hylton Jolliffe, 3rd Baron Hylton.

She used to collect elaborately decorated fans, which are now on display at Ickworth House. For this she was honoured with the freedom of the Worshipful Company of Fanmakers. Her collection of silver fish are also on display

When the Marquess died in 1907, the Marchioness moved into a London house with her unmarried sister-in-law, Lady Mary Hervey.
