Who did cornelia vanderbilt cecil marry after her divorce?

Answer 1

2nd Husband was Vivian Francis Bulkeley Johnson from England, he was much older than Cornelia and died a few years later and then Cornelia married a much younger man William Goodsir who left his wife and family for Cornelia. In 1976 Cornelia died and soon after William went back to his family but ultimately killed himself and he is buried in Cornelias plot in the UK. Cornelia's wildness was legend and she was after the men, she rebelled, changed her name at times to Mary or Nilcha, dyed her hair wild colors etc and never returned to the USA or Biltmore after she left in early 1930s. She tried to sell Biltmore House since she was the owner but her mother saved the house and Cornelias two sons inherited the estate and one still owns it today.

Answer 2

She married twice after her 1934 divorce to John Cecil. First she married in 1949 Engliosh banker and much older man Vivian Francis Bulckley Johnson, years after he died she married a much younger man in 1972 William "Bill" Goodsir.

Cornelia never returned to Biltmore or the USA after leaving Biltmore behind in 1934, not even for her mothers funeral. if you would like more information on Cornelia please search for the online Biltmore Estate History group on Yahoo where we share the secrets of Biltmore that never see the light of day at Biltmore Estate itself.
