Baron St Helens

[1] On 31 July 1801 he was further honoured when he was created Baron St Helens, of St Helens on the Isle of Wight in the County of Southampton, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, allowing him to sit in the House of Lords.

Lord St Helens was the son of William Fitzherbert, Member of Parliament for Derby, and a younger brother of Sir William Fitzherbert, 1st Baronet.

The third creation came on 31 December 1964 when the Conservative politician Michael Hughes-Young was created Baron St Helens, of St Helens in the County Palatine of Lancaster.

It was one of the last hereditary baronies ever created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

Henry George Young, father of the first Baron, was a Brigadier-General in the British Army.
