| Longest lived peers and peeresses | |||||||||
| The British peerage is possibly the best documented group of lives in history. It is somewhat | |||||||||
| surprising therefore that it was not until 1965 that a member of the peerage achieved their 100th | |||||||||
| birthday. Since that time, a further 14 peers and 1 peeress in her own right have reached their | |||||||||
| centenaries, as shown below:- | |||||||||

| Oldest/senior peers by age at any point since 1840 | |||||||||
| The following is a progressive listing of the oldest peers since 1840. I am very grateful to Louis | |||||||||
| Epstein, who first suggested that such a listing be compiled. Louis provided me with his research | |||||||||
| on this matter, to which I have made only minor amendments. As a result, the vast majority of | |||||||||
| credit for this listing is due to Louis. | |||||||||

| 15th Earl of Kincardine | 17 Feb 1924 | ||||||||
| I understand that the longest-lived person who has ever appeared in "Burke's Peerage" was | |||||||||
| Katherine Plunket, daughter of the 2nd Baron Plunket. She was born 22 November 1820 and died | |||||||||
| 14 October 1932, aged 111 years and 327 days. Her [edited] obituary in "The Times" of 15 October | |||||||||
| 1932 reads:- | |||||||||
| 'The Hon. Katherine Plunket, who died yesterday at her home, Ballymascanlan House, Co. Louth, | |||||||||
| would have reached the age of 112 if she had lived till November 22. She remembered sitting on | |||||||||
| Sir Walter Scott's knee when she was five years old. Her memory was indeed remarkable, and her | |||||||||
| mind was clear and vigorous to the last. | |||||||||
| 'There can be no question about this extraordinary instance of longevity. Miss Plunket, who was | |||||||||
| born on November 22, 1820, was the eldest of the five daughters born to the Rev. Thomas Span | |||||||||
| Plunket when he was curate of Kilsaran, Co. Louth. His marriage in October, 1819, to Louisa Jane, | |||||||||
| daughter of Mr. William Foster, of Fanevalley, Co. Louth, and the baptism of Katherine on December | |||||||||
| 13, 1820, are both recorded in the parish register of Kilsaran. Her father, who was the eldest son | |||||||||
| of the first Lord Plunket, the great orator and Lord Chancellor of Ireland, was born in 1792, became | |||||||||
| Bishop of Tuam, Killala and Achonry in 1839, succeeded his father as second baron in 1854, and | |||||||||
| died in 1866. Miss Plunket's four sisters all died unmarried except one, the Hon. Mary Elizabeth | |||||||||
| Alice, who married Colonel Sir Thomas Oriel Forster, Bt., and died without issue in 1862. The | |||||||||
| youngest, the Hon. Gertrude Victoria, died in 1924 at the age of 83 after her eldest sister had | |||||||||
| passed her hundredth year. | |||||||||
| 'Miss Plunket, who lived under five Sovereigns, was enthusiastically loyal and followed sympathet- | |||||||||
| ically all the doings of the Royal Family. The birth and babyhood of the Princesses Elizabeth and | |||||||||
| Margaret Rose of York, which occurred after she was a hundred years old, interested her deeply. | |||||||||
| A correspondent wrote to us on February 4, 1929:- " I recently sent a copy of one of my books | |||||||||
| to Miss Plunket, who is, I believe, the oldest of his Majesty's subjects. Her cousin wrote to me in | |||||||||
| acknowledgment, 'it pleased the dear old lady very much ...... She is past 108 now and is still | |||||||||
| very wonderful, and as a rule interested in things, especially just now in the King's health. She has | |||||||||
| always been a very strong Loyalist and Unionist.' " She was delighted at the receipt of a telegram | |||||||||
| from the King and Queen on November 22, 1930, congratulating her upon her one hundred and | |||||||||
| tenth birthday. | |||||||||
| 'Even in extreme old age Miss Plunket continued to be a great traveller, and Ballymascanlan, | |||||||||
| which she inherited from her uncle, Mr. Frederick Foster, contains many of her sketches of scenes | |||||||||
| in Italy and Switzerland. He reminiscences of travel in Ireland in her girlhood were quaint and clear. | |||||||||
| She remembered when long distances in Connaught were usually traversed by canal boat or on | |||||||||
| horseback, and when the journey from Connaught to Dublin by coach sometimes occupied between | |||||||||
| two and three days. One of her earliest recollections was of the visit of Sir Walter Scott to Ireland | |||||||||
| in July, 1826. Sir Walter was the guest of her grandfather, the first Lord Plunket, who was then | |||||||||
| Attorney-General [of Ireland]. She remembered sitting on Sir Walter's knee and being charmed by | |||||||||
| his agreeable personality and conversation. Sir Walter Scott, in his diary, alludes to this visit to the | |||||||||
| Irish Attorney-General, with whom he stayed for several days between July 19 and 31, 1826. Miss | |||||||||
| Plunket was then in her sixth year, and she recalled the incident in a conversation 105 years | |||||||||
| afterwards.' | |||||||||
| Peers who enjoyed their peerages for the greatest length of time | |||||||||
| George John Patrick Dominic Townshend, 7th Marquess Townshend, succeeded to his peerage on | |||||||||
| 17 November 1921. On 2 March 2009, he became the longest ever holder of a peerage, surpassing | |||||||||
| the 13th Lord Sinclair (see below). He died on 23 April 2010, having held the peerage for 88 years, | |||||||||
| 157 days. | |||||||||
| Charles St.Clair, 13th Lord Sinclair, succeeded to the title on 16 Dec 1775 and died on 30 March | |||||||||
| 1863, having held the peerage for 87 years and 104 days. | |||||||||
| George William Coventry, 9th Earl of Coventry, succeeded to the title on 15 May 1843 and died 13 | |||||||||
| March 1930, having held the peerage for 86 years and 302 days. | |||||||||
| Edward John Barrington Montagu-Douglas-Scott, 3rd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu, succeeded to the | |||||||||
| title on 30 March 1929 and died 31 August 2015, having held the peerage for 86 years and 154 | |||||||||
| days. | |||||||||
| Charles Henry Fitzroy, 4th Baron Southampton, succeeded to the title on 16 Jul 1872 and died on | |||||||||
| 7 December 1958, having held the peerage for 86 years and 144 days. | |||||||||
| Charles Cokayne, 5th Viscount Cullen, succeeded to the title on 6 April 1716 and died on 7 June | |||||||||
| 1802, having held the peerage for 86 years and 62 days. | |||||||||
| The following is a progressive listing of the longest held peerages since 1513. This listing has been | |||||||||
| provided to me by Louis Epstein, and he therefore deserves the total credit for his research. | |||||||||

| Peers who enjoyed their peerages for the shortest length of time | |||||||||
| Wilfred Carlyle Stamp, 2nd Baron Stamp, was killed in a German air-raid on London on 16 April 1941. | |||||||||
| His father, the 1st Baron, was killed by the same bomb. However, it was assumed that the son | |||||||||
| had died after the father, even by a split-second, and on that basis the 2nd Baron was held to | |||||||||
| have succeeded to the title. | |||||||||
| Apart from this legal "fiction", the shortest period of enjoyment of a title was that of Charles | |||||||||
| Brandon, 3rd Duke of Suffolk [creation of 1514] who succeeded to the title on the death of his | |||||||||
| brother on 14 July 1551 and died half an hour later, when the peerage became extinct. | |||||||||
| Shortest-lived peerages | |||||||||
| Frederic Leighton (the famous Victorian painter) was created Baron Leighton of Stretton on 24 | |||||||||
| January 1896. He died the following day when the peerage became extinct after a life of only 1 day. | |||||||||
| Sir Thomas Erskine May, author of the standard work on British parliamentary procedure, was | |||||||||
| created Baron Farnborough on 11 May 1886. This title became extinct on his death on 17 May 1886, | |||||||||
| 6 days after its creation. | |||||||||
| David Robertson was created Baron Marjoribanks on 12 June 1873. The title became extinct on his | |||||||||
| death on 19 June 1873, 7 days after creation. | |||||||||
| The shortest lived life peerage is that of Jeremy John Heywood, who was created Baron Heywood | |||||||||
| of Whitehall on 26 October 2018 and who died 9 days later on 4 November 2018. He is followed by | |||||||||
| Arthur Brian Deane Faulkner, who was created Baron Faulkner of Downpatrick on 7 February 1977 | |||||||||
| and who died 24 days later on 3 March 1977. | |||||||||
| At least three life peerages were announced where the intended recipients died before the creation | |||||||||
| could be completed. It was announced on 26 June 1979 that John Emerson Harding Davies was to | |||||||||
| be made a life peer but he died on 4 July 1979 before the peerage was gazetted. Similarly, Dame | |||||||||
| Shelagh Marjorie Roberts' life peerage was announced on 31 December 1991, but she died on 16 | |||||||||
| January 1992. Also, Sir David English's appointment as a peer was announced in June 1998 but he | |||||||||
| died on 10 June. | |||||||||
| On 29 Mar 1962, it was announced that Sir Ian MacDonald Horobin would be granted a life peerage. | |||||||||
| He withdrew his acceptance of the peerage on 13 April 1962. He was subsequently arrested on | |||||||||
| charges of indecency in May 1962 and in July 1962 was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment. | |||||||||
| Oldest peers upon creation | |||||||||
| The oldest person to have created an hereditary peer was William Francis Kyffin-Taylor, who was | |||||||||
| created Baron Maenan on 29 June 1948. He was born on 9 July 1854 and was therefore 93 years | |||||||||
| and 356 days old when he was made a peer. He died on 22 September 1951 when the peerage | |||||||||
| became extinct. | |||||||||
| Only 10 days younger was Francis Aungier Pakenham, Earl of Longford who was granted a life | |||||||||
| peerage as Baron Pakenham of Cowley on 16 November 1999, at the age of 93 years and 346 days. | |||||||||
