George Baillie-Hamilton-Arden, 11th Earl of Haddington KT DL (26 July 1827 – 11 June 1917)

Lord Haddington was the son of George Baillie-Hamilton, 10th Earl of Haddington and Georgina Markham.

Lord Haddington was elected a representative peer from 1874 until his death. He was High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1871.[1] He was created Lord Lieutenant of Haddingtonshire in 1874. He was honorary Colonel of the Lothians and Border Horse and an officer in the Royal Company of Archers.

Marriage and issue

On 17 October 1854, he married Helen Katharine Warrender, heiress and granddaughter of Richard Arden, 1st Baron Alvanley, and had issue:

  • Isabel Baillie-Hamilton (d. 1859)
  • Lady Ruth Baillie-Hamilton (1855–1941)
  • George Baillie-Hamilton, Lord Binning (1856–1917)
  • Lt. Hon. Richard Baillie-Hamilton (1858–1881)
  • Lady Grisell Baillie-Hamilton (1861–1957)
  • Captain Hon. Henry Robert Baillie-Hamilton-Arden (1862–1949)
  • Lady Cecely Baillie-Hamilton (1868–1950)

His eldest son George predeceased him by a few months, dying in January 1917, and so the title passed to his grandson George Baillie-Hamilton, 12th Earl of Haddington.
