Shelley Scarlett, 5th Baron Abinger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shelley Leopold Laurence Scarlett, 5th Baron Abinger (born 1872, died 1917), was the son of Lieutenant-Colonel Leopold James Yorke Campbell Scarlett, and a great-grandson of the 1st Baron Abinger.

The 5th Baron succeeded his second cousin in 1903, and was an Honourable Commander of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. He served in World War I from 1915-1916.

Though married to Lilia Lucy Catherine Mary White (daughter of the Right Honourable Sir William Arthur White) in 1899, they had no male heirs. Thus, the 5th Baron was succeeded by his brother Robert at his death.
