Archibald Acheson, 4th Earl of Gosford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archibald Brabazon Sparrow Acheson, 4th Earl of Gosford KP (2 August 1841 – 11 April 1922) was a British Peer. The son of Archibald Acheson, 3rd Earl of Gosford, he succeeded to the earldom upon the death of his father in 1864. Since there are two United Kingdom peerages subsumed in that Irish Earldom, he was entitled to an automatic seat in the House of Lords. He was Lord Lieutenant of Armagh from 1883 to 1920. Gosford died in London in 1922.
He married Lady Louisa Augusta Beatrice Montagu, daughter of William Montagu, 7th Duke of Manchester, at London on 10 August 1876, with whom he had the following children:
- Archibald Charles Montagu Brabazon Acheson, 5th Earl of Gosford (1877–1954)
- Lady Alexandra Louise Elizabeth Acheson (1878 – 21 January 1958), married Lt.-Col. Hon. William Frederick Stanley
- Lady Mary Acheson (1881–????), married Hon. Robert Arthur Ward
- Lady Theodosia Louisa Augusta Acheson (1882 – 16 October 1977), married Alexander Cadogan
- Captain Patrick George Edward Cavendish Acheson (30 June 1883 - 30 August 1957)
