Mary Jennifer Guinness (née Hollwey; 22 August 1937 – 23 January 2016), was an English-born Irish socialite and member of the Guinness family.[1][2]
She married John Henry Guinness on 9 April 1959 and they had three children: Ian Richard Guinness (b. 15 March 1961), Gillian Sarah Guinness (b. 8 July 1962) and Tania Caroline Guinness (b. 10 February 1966).[1] She was a keen sailor and had been a member of Howth Yacht Club.[2]
Kidnapping
In April 1986 she was kidnapped for ransom[3] but rescued by the Garda Síochána from a home on Waterloo Road in south Dublin eight days later.[4]
At trial, brothers Michael and John Cunningham were convicted, along with Anthony Kelly after being arrested at the house on Waterloo Road.[5] Brian McNicholl was also convicted, with the judge accepting that his role was mainly to provide a location for Guinness to be held.[6] Kelly died in 2005 and Michael Cunningham in 2015.[5]
Personal life
She and her family lived at Ceanchor House, Ceanchor Road, Baily, Howth, County Dublin.[2][7][8]
John Henry Guinness (10 April 1935 – 29 February 1988) died at age 52 in a mountain-walking accident in Snowdonia.[7][9] Jennifer Guinness died on 23 January 2016, aged 78, following a long battle with cancer.[2]
