Sir John Robert Gladstone, 3rd Baronet, of Fasque
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir John Robert Gladstone (26 April 1852 - 25 June 1926) was the son of Sir Thomas Gladstone, an older brother of the Liberal Prime Minister William Gladstone, and Louisa Fellowes.
He attended the state funeral of his cousin, W E Gladstone, in 1898.[1] Like his father, Gladstone was Lord Lieutenant of Kincardineshire, and was also a Justice of the Peace (JP) in that county. He was a Captain in the the 1st Battalion, the Coldstream Guards, and was a Brigadier in the Royal Company of Archers. He succeeded to the title of 3rd Baronet Gladstone, of Fasque and Balfour, on 20 March 1889, following the death of his father.[2]
He died on 25 June 1926 aged 74. He never married, so the title passed to his cousin, John Evelyn Gladstone.
