George Evans, 4th Baron Carbery
George Evans, 4th Baron Carbery (18 February 1766 – 31 December 1804) was a British peer and politician.
Background and education
Carbery was the son of George Carbery, 3rd Baron Carbery, and his second wife Elizabeth, daughter of Christopher Horton. He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge.[1][2]
Political career
Carbery succeeded his father in the barony in 1783. However, as this was an Irish peerage, it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords. He was instead elected to the House of Commons for Rutland in 1802, a seat he held until his early death two years later.[3]

Lord Carbery married Susan, daughter of Colonel Henry Watson, in 1792. They had no children. He died in December 1804, aged 38, from the bursting of a blood-vessel at Reddish's Hotel in London.[1] He was succeeded in the barony by his uncle, John Evans. Lady Carbery later remarried and died in October 1828.[2]
