Edward Stanley, 6th Baron Stanley of Alderley
- Edward Stanley, 6th Baron Stanley of Alderley
Edward John Stanley, 6th Baron Sheffield, 6th Baron Stanley of Alderley and 5th Baron Eddisbury (9 October 1907 – 3 March 1971) was an English nobleman. He was the son of the 5th Baron Sheffield (1875 – 1931) and Margaret Evelyn Gordon (1875 – 1964).
Lord Stanley of Alderley oversaw the loss of the family's ancestral estate at Alderley Park. With a fondness for gambling, wine and marriage, he had to pay for four divorce settlements, and death duties, even at pre-war levels, for both the 4th and 5th Barons. When the mansion at Alderley Park was destroyed by fire in 1931 he moved into the former farmhouse. When he sold the estate in 1938 to the property developers Hambling Crundall and Co, many of his older tenants were forced to leave the village.
He had four wives:
*Lady Victoria Audrey Beatrice Chetwynd-Talbot (married March 3, 1932-divorced 1936)
*Sylvia Ashley (married January 18, 1944-divorced 1948)
*Therese Husson (married April 6, 1951-divorced 1957)
*Kathleen Margaret Crane (nee Wright) (married September 15, 1961-his death 1971).
He and Victoria had one daughter, The Hon. Edwina Maureen Stanley (born January 19, 1933). On his death in 1971, his brother Lyulph Stanley succeeded to his titles, albeit only briefly.
