Contents

Early life

Lisburne was the son of Ernest Vaughan, 4th Earl of Lisburne, whom he succeeded on 8 November 1873, and his wife, Mary (died 1851), second daughter of Sir Laurence Palk, Bt.. As this was an Irish peerage after 1801 it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords.

Family

He was married on 24 June 1858 to Gertrude Laura, third daughter of Edwyn Burnaby of Baggrave Hall, Leicestershire. [1] She died in 1865. [2] He then married on 15 May 1878 Alice Probyn (1854-1933), daughter of Edmund. As a widow she remarried in 1889 to William Amherst, 3rd Earl Amherst (1836-1910) and in 1914 to John Peter, Prince Sapieha (1865-1954).

Later life and death

He succeeded his father in 1873 and died in 1888. [2] While maintaining his support for the Conservative cause he largely withdrew from active politics and played little part in county government nor the Quarter Sessions. [2]
