Robert Wellesley Grosvenor, 2nd Baron Ebury (25 January 1834 – 13 November 1918) was a British politician.

Early life and education[edit]

Ebury was the eldest of the five sons and two daughters of Robert Grosvenor, 1st Baron Ebury and his wife Hon Charlotte Arbuthnot Wellesley.[1] His younger brothers were Thomas George Grosvenor, Norman Grosvenor (who represented Chester in Parliament), Algernon Henry Grosvenor, and barrister Richard Cecil Grosvenor.[2]

Ebury's father was the third son of Robert Grosvenor, 1st Marquess of Westminster.[3] His mother was the eldest daughter of the diplomat Henry Wellesley, 1st Baron Cowley, a younger brother of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.[2] Among Robert's extended family were uncles Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster and Thomas Egerton, 2nd Earl of Wilton, while Hugh Lupus Grosvenor, 1st Duke of Westminster and Richard Grosvenor, 1st Baron Stalbridge were his cousins.[2]

He was educated at Harrow School and King's College London.

Ebury played three first-class cricket matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club between 1861 and 1863.[4]

Ebury succeeded to the barony upon his father's death in 1893.

Career[edit]

Ebury entered the 1st Life Guards in 1853, became Captain in 1859 and was made Captain of the Cheshire Yeomanry in 1870. He served as Liberal Party Member of Parliament for Westminster from 1865to1874.[5]

Marriage and children[edit]

On 20 July 1867, Ebury married Hon Emilie Beaujolais White, daughter of Henry White, 1st Baron Annaly.[6] They had six children:[2]

Death[edit]

Ebury died in 1918 at the age of 84 and was succeeded in the barony by his eldest son, Robert.[2]
