George Wyndham, 4th Earl of Egremont

George Francis Wyndham, 4th Earl of Egremont (30 August 1786 - 2 April 1845, Silverton Park) was an English nobleman and naval officer.

Life

He was the son of William Frederick Wyndham (1763–1828), youngest son of Charles Wyndham, 2nd Earl of Egremont and his wife Frances Mary Harford (born 1759), the illegitimate daughter of Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore by Hester Whelan. His father's elder brother George Wyndham died without legitimate male issue and so George Francis succeeded him as Baron Wyndham, Baron Cockermouth and Earl of Egremont, but he too died without issue and the titles became extinct.

George Francis received his first Royal Navy commission in 1799, rising to captain in 1812. On 14 November 1820 he married Jane Roberts, daughter of Reverend William Roberts.
