Sackville George Pelham, 5th Earl of Yarborough MC (born Anderson-Pelham ; December 17, 1888 , † February 7, 1948 ) was a British peer and politician .

Life

He was the second of four sons of Charles Anderson-Pelham, 4th Earl of Yarborough and his wife Marcia Lane-Fox, 7th Baroness Fauconberg . In 1905 his father changed the family name from "Anderson-Pelham" to "Pelham" under a royal license.

In 1910 he joined the 11th Hussars Cavalry Regiment (Prince Albert's Own) as a Second Lieutenant . He was promoted to lieutenant in 1914 . During the First World War he took part in the fighting in France between 1914 and 1918 . He was promoted to captain in 1916 and was awarded the Military Cross (MC) in 1918 for his military service. In 1919 he retired from active military service, but in 1926 major in the Nottinghamshire Yeomanry , an association of the Territorial Army, and was Lieutenant-Colonel in command of this unit from 1936 to 1940 . On the occasion of the Second World War he was ordered back into active military service, from which he finally retired in 1944.

Since his older brother Lieutenant Charles Sackville Pelham, Lord Worsley, had already died on October 30, 1914 in the First Battle of Ypres , when his mother died on November 17, 1926, Pelham inherited her nobility titles as 8th Baron Fauconberg and 14th Baron Conyers . He became a member of the House of Lords while his father was still alive . When his father died on July 12, 1936, he also inherited his title of nobility as 5th Earl of Yarborough , 5th Baron Worsley and 6th Baron Yarborough . He took over from his father and the family estate Brocklesby Park in Lincolnshire and the honorary post of head of Parforcejagd ( Master of the Hounds Brocklesby ).

On September 23, 1919, Pelham married Nancy Brocklehurst. The two daughters emerged from this marriage:

  • Lady Diana Mary Pelham (1920-2013) ⚭ 1952 Robert Miller († 1990);
  • Lady June Wendy Pelham (1924–2012) ⚭ 1959 Michael Lycett.

Having no sons, his youngest brother, Marcus Herbert Pelham , inherited his titles as Earl of Yarborough , Baron Worsley and Baron Yarborough on his death on February 7, 1948 . The titles Baron Conyers and Baron Fauconberg are also hereditary in the female line and fell between his two daughters when he died in Abeyance in 1948 . When the younger daughter June Wendy died childless in 2012, both titles of the older Diana Mary were restored, but fell again into Abeyance between her two daughters when she died in 2013.
