From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edward Jervis Jervis, 2nd Viscount St Vincent (1767–1859) was a Viscount in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

He was born Edward Jervis Ricketts, the second son of William Henry Ricketts and Mary Jervis, daughter of Swynfen Jervis, Rector of Meaford, Staffordshire and sister of John Jervis, 1st Earl of St Vincent. He inherited the title 2nd Viscount St Vincent on the death of his uncle in 1823 and thereupon, by Royal licence, changed his name to Edward Jervis Jervis. He lived at the family seat Meaford Hall, Meaford, Staffordshire and was Lord of the Manor of Little Aston, near Stone ( not to be confused with the home of his son, Edward Swynfen Parker Jervis, of Little Aston Hall, then in the parish of Shenstone, Staffordshire, near Sutton Coldfield). He married twice, firstly to Mary Cassandra Twisleton, ( by whom he had a son William, father of 3rd Viscount St Vincent ) and secondly to Mary Anne Parker of Park Hall, Staffordshire. He was succeeded by his grandson Carnegie Robert John Jervis, 3rd Viscount St Vincent
