Earl of Norwich

He had already been created Baron Denny, of Waltham in the County of Essex, in 1604, also in the Peerage of England.

He was the son of George Goring, of Hurstpierpoint and Ovingdean, Sussex, by Anne Denny, sister of the first Earl of the 1626 creation.

On his death in 1777, childless, the barony of Howard of Castle Rising and earldom of Norwich became extinct.

He had already been created Baron Gordon of Huntly, in the County of Gloucester, in 1784, also in the Peerage of Great Britain.

He had no legitimate male issue and the dukedom (and other titles created at the same time as this peerage), earldom of Norwich and barony of Gordon of Huntly became extinct on his death in 1836.

He was succeeded in the marquessate of Huntly and remaining Scottish titles by his kinsman George Gordon, 5th Earl of Aboyne.
