Ernest Augustus Malet Vaughan, 5th Earl of Lisburne
Ernest Augustus Malet Vaughan, 5th Earl of Lisburne (1836-1888), was a prominent landowner in Cardiganshire, Wales who sought election to the British House of Commons at the 1868 General Election.
Early life[]
Lisburne was the son of Ernest Vaughan, 4th Earl of Lisburne, whom he succeeded on 8 November 1873, and his wife, Mary (died 1851), second daughter of Sir Laurence Palk, Bt.. As this was an Irish peerage after 1801 it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords.
Family[]
He was married on 24 June 1858 to Gertrude Laura, third daughter of Edwyn Burnaby of Baggrave Hall, Leicestershire.[1] She died in 1865.[2]
Later life and death[]
He succeeded his father in 1873 and died in 1888.[2] While maintaining his support for the Conservative cause he largely withdrew from active politics and played little part in county government nor the Quarter Sessions.[2]
