Archibald Acheson, 4th Earl of Gosford

Archibald Brabazon Sparrow Acheson, 4th Earl of Gosford, KP (19 August 1841[1] – 11 April 1922) was a British peer.

The son of Archibald Acheson, 3rd Earl of Gosford, he was born at Worlingham Hall, Suffolk,[2] in 1841, and educated at Harrow School; and succeeded to the earldom upon the death of his father in 1864.

[3] Since there are two United Kingdom peerages (e.g. Baron Worlingham) subsumed in that Irish Earldom, he was entitled to an automatic seat in the House of Lords.

[6] Gosford died in London in 1922, aged 80, and was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium.

[2] He married Lady Louisa Augusta Beatrice Montagu (named, in 1920, as a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire, DBE), daughter of William Montagu, 7th Duke of Manchester, at London on 10 August 1876, with whom he had the following children:
