Background
Liverpool was the son of Charles Jenkinson, 1st Earl of Liverpool by his second wife Catherine, daughter of Sir Cecil Bisshopp, 6th Baronet, and the younger half-brother of Prime Minister Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool.[1] During the Napoleonic Wars he notably served as a volunteer in the Austrian Army at the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805.[2]
Political career
Liverpool was elected Member of Parliament for Sandwich in 1807, a seat he held until 1812,[3] and then sat for Bridgnorth from 1812 to 1818[4] and for East Grinstead from 1818 to 1828.[5] He held office under the Duke of Portland as Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department from 1807 to 1809 and under Spencer Perceval as Under-Secretary of State for War and the Colonies from 1809 to 1810, but did not serve in his brother's 1812 to 1827 Tory administration. Liverpool succeeded in the earldom of Liverpool in 1828 on the death of his elder brother and took his seat in the House of Lords. In 1841 he was invested a member of the Privy Council[6] and appointed Lord Steward of the Household in the government of Sir Robert Peel,[7] a post he held until 1846.[8]
Family
Lord Liverpool married Julia, daughter of Sir George Shuckburgh-Evelyn, 6th Baronet, in 1810. They had three daughters. Julia died in April 1814, shortly after the birth of her youngest child. Liverpool remained a widower until his death in October 1851, aged 67. On his death the barony of Hawkesbury and earldom of Liverpool became extinct. However, the baronetcy of Hawkesbury (created in 1661) also held by the late Earl, survived, and was passed on to a cousin (see Jenkinson Baronets). In 1905 the earldom was revived in favour of Liverpool's grandson, the Liberal politician Cecil Foljambe, the son of Liverpool's second daughter Lady Selina and her husband George Savile Foljambe.[1]
