Born Omagh, N. Ireland. Extremely rich landowner, possessing vast chunks of Lancashire, Cheshire and Scotland as well as most of Mayfair and Belgravia. There are bits of Paris, Canada and Spain he calls his own as well. Amazing what can be done with just one O-level.
Died in Lancashire. Succeeded by his eldest son, Hugh. Tamara and Edwina, being of the female persuasion, don't count.
