Viscount Tyrconnel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viscount Tyrconnel was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created on 23 June 1754 for Sir John Brownlow, 5th Baronet. He was made Baron Charleville, in the County of Cork, at the same time, also in the Peerage of Ireland. The Brownlow Baronetcy, of Humby in the County of Lincoln, was created in the Baronetage of England on 27 July 1641 for his great-grandfather William Brownlow. The three titles became extinct on Lord Tyrconnel's death in 1754. The Brownlow estates were passed on to the late Viscount's nephew, Sir John Cust, 3rd Baronet, whose son was created Baron Brownlow in 1776.
Another member of the Brownlow family was Sir John Brownlow, 1st Baronet, of Belton. He was the elder brother of Sir William Brownlow, 1st Baronet, of Humby. On Sir John Brownlow's death in 1679 the Belton estates, including Belton House, was passed on to his great-nephew Sir John Brownlow, 3rd Baronet, of Humby.
