Wilts Obituary. 63 
‘Ralph Ludlow Lopes. Born Sept. 9th, 1820. Died Feb. 28th, 1898, 
aged 77. Buried at Melksham. He was the son of Sir Ralph Lopes, second 
baronet of Maristowe, Devon, by his marriage with Susan Gibbs, d. of 
Abraham Ludlow, of Heywood, Wilts. He was educated at Winchester 
and Christchurch, Oxford. B.A., 1844. M.A. and called to the Bar, 1847. 
Married, 1851, Elizabeth, third daughter of Samuel Trehawk Kekewich, 
M.P., of Peamore, Devon. His two sons, Ralph Kekewich and Henry 
Ludlow predeceased him. His third son, George, and daughter, Julia, survive 
him. He took for many years a very prominent part in county business— 
J.P.and D.L. He was High Sheriff of Wilts in 1869; Recorder of Devizes, 
1877 to 1887; and Chairman of Wilts Quarter Sessions for some eleven 
years. He, however, retired from public life before the County Council 
came into existence. He purchased the Sandridge Park Estate, and built 
the house soon after his marriage, and always took the warmest interest in 
local matters—the revival of the Melksham Agricultural Society and the 
formation of the Melksham Rifle Corps being very largely due to him.

Camille Felix Desire Caillard. Died May Ist, 1898, aged 75. 
Buried at Wingfield, where he lived. Born Sept. 12th, 1822, only son of 
Camille Timothee Caillard, nephew of the Marquis Diegode Penalver, and 
grandson of Jean Andre Caillard, who held distinguished office under the 
first French Republic, and afterwards under the Empire. Privately educated, 
he was called to the bar in 1845, and was appointed to the Wiltshire County 
Court judgeship in 1859, an office which he filled with great ability until 
his retirement in 1897. J.P. and D.L. for Wilts, and for some years 
chairman of the second Court of Quarter Sessions ; also J.P. for Somerset. 
He married, first, Emma Louisa, daughter of Mr. V. 8. Reynolds, of 
Canonsgrove, Co. Somerset, who died in 1865; and secondly, Amy Ursula, 
daughter of Alexander Copland, of Wingfield, and widow of Capt. J. Hanham. 
Sir Vincent Caillard, late President of the Administration of the Ottoman 
Public Debt, is his eldest son. The Devizes Gazette, May 5th, 1898, justly 
speaks of his “dignified, commanding, even noble personality,” and says 
that by his death “ Wiltshire loses one of the most refined, Christian-minded 
gentlemen of which it has ever been her privilege to boast.”
