George Onslow, 1st Earl of Onslow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arthur Onslow's son George (1731-1814), who had no brother and whose only sister died in 1751, was said to be seriously lacking in his father's qualities. But he became the first Earl of Onslow.

In 1778, Lord Onslow sold Imber Court in Thames Ditton, and a large estate including farms and gardens, and the Imber Court Copper Mills.
