BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS OF EMINENT PERSONS. 



THE MARQUESS OF CHOLMONDELEY. 



George James Cholmondeley, Marquess 

 nnd Earl of Cholmondeley, Earl of Rock- 

 savage, Viscount Malpas, Baron Cholmon- 

 deley, of Namptwich, in the county of 

 Chester, Baron Newburgb, in the county of 

 Anglesey, Viscount Cholmondeley, of Kells, 

 Baron Newburgh, of the county of Wexlord, 

 in the Peerage of Ireland, and a baronet, 

 was born on the 30th of April, 1749. He 

 succeeded his grandfather, third Earl of 

 Cholmondeley, on the 10th of June, 1770. 

 He married on the 25th of April, 1791, 

 Georgiana Charlotte Bertie, second daughter 

 of Peregrine, third Duke of Ancaster, (joint 

 hereditary great Chamberlain of England, 

 with her sister Priscilla, Baroness Wil- 

 loughby de Eresby.) By that lady he had 

 issue, George James Horatio, his successor ; 

 a daughter, Charlotte, who married Colonel 

 Hugh Seymour, M.P. (second son of the late 

 Lord Hugh Seymour,) who died in 1821, 

 and another son, William Henry. 



The Marquess of Cholmondeley was one 

 of the oldest families of the county of Ches- 

 ter.* He possessed also the best estate in 



* The two great Cheshire families of Kgerton and 

 f'holmondeley, are both dp=ccnded from the same 



that county ; and his fortune was some years 

 ago increased by his succeeding to the estate 

 of Houghton, in Norfolk, by the death of 

 Horatio, Earl of Orford. 



Lord Cbolmondeley long served in the 

 ranks of opposition; but, when our present 

 Sovereign assumed the Regency, he at- 

 tached himself to him, and was made Lord 

 Steward of the Household. On the 22d of 

 November, 1815, he was created Marquess 

 of Cholmondeley and Earl of Rocksavage. 

 His Lordship was Judge of the Mar>halsea 

 nnd Palace Courts, and Chamberlain of Ches- 

 ter. 



His Lordship's death was quite sudden. 

 On the night of Monday, April the 9th, ho 

 retired to rest, in the enjoyment of his usual 

 health, at 12 o'clock. About an hour after- 

 wards he was taken very ill ; Sir Henry 

 Halford was immediately summoned ; but, 

 notwithstanding the most prompt attention, 



common ancestor, William le Bellward, who was 

 Baron of Malpas, in that county, under the Nor- 

 man Karls Palatine. David de Malpas, the eMest 

 son of William Jo Hellward, was ancestor of the 

 Etrertons: and Robert, the second son, having, by 

 gift of his father, the Lordship of Cholmonde- 

 ley, -settled there, and assumed the local name, 

 which has been continued in his descendant*.
