John Strange Jocelyn, 5th Earl of Roden (5 June 1823 – 3 July 1897), was an Anglo-Irish soldier and representative peer.
A lieutenant colonel in the Scots Guards, Jocelyn served in the Crimean War, being present at the battles of Alma, Balaclava, and Inkerman.
[2] At his death the title of Baron Clanbrassil became extinct, and the Roden earldom passed to his half-first cousin William Henry Jocelyn (1842-1910), a grandson of the 2nd Earl and his second wife.
Jocelyn married Sophia Hobhouse (1832-1916) in 1851; they had one daughter: Lord Roden died in London in 1897 and is buried in Great St. Mary's church in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.
Winston Churchill's brother John Strange Spencer-Churchill (known as "Jack") was born shortly after Jocelyn had inherited the Roden estate and was named in his honour.
