Family

He succeeded his great-grandfather, Frederick Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol and 5th Baron Howard de Walden, the "Earl-Bishop" of Derry, as 6th Baron Howard de Walden on 8 July 1803.

He was the son of Charles Ellis, 1st Baron Seaford and his wife, formerly The Hon. Elizabeth Hervey, the daughter of John Hervey, Lord Hervey, eldest son of the 4th Earl of Bristol.

On 8 November 1828 Lord Howard de Walden married Lady Lucy Cavendish-Scott-Bentinck (c. 1813 – 29 July 1899) at All Souls' Church in Marylebone. Lady Lucy was the daughter of the politician William Cavendish-Scott-Bentinck, 4th Duke of Portland.

Lord Howard de Walden became 2nd Baron Seaford upon the death of his father in July 1845.

Lord and Lady Howard de Walden had five sons:

  • The Hon. Frederick George Ellis, later 7th Baron Howard de Walden (9 August 1830 – November 1899)
  • The Hon. William Charles Ellis (22 July 1835 – 20 June 1923)
  • The Hon. Charles Arthur Ellis (December 1839 – 30 March 1906)
  • The Hon. John Charles Ellis (29 September 1841 – 8 November 1886)
  • The Hon. Evelyn Henry Ellis (9 August 1843 – 5 September 1913) early patron of Daimler launches and cars and first distance motorist in England - Southampton to Malvern, July 1895 on a 3½hp Daimler-engined French Panhard & Levassor car. His cousin, Sir Arthur Ellis's post as an equerry to the Prince of Wales directly led to the adoption of Daimler cars as official royal transport.

Career

His career began when he became an Ensign and Lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards on 24 April 1817.[1]

He switched to politics, serving as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs from 26 May 1824 to 9 June 1828, during which time he acted as Attaché to Lord Stuart de Rothesay on a mission to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil (January 1826).

This role allowed him to move into international diplomacy, as he served as Minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary to the court of Stockholm, Sweden (from 2 October 1832), to the court of Lisbon, Portugal (from 22 November 1833), and at Brussels, Belgium (from 10 December 1846).

Honours

Lord Howard de Walden was appointed Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath on 22 July 1838 and Grand Cross of the Portuguese order of the Tower and Sword in 1841.
