- Henry Reynolds-Moreton, 3rd Earl of Ducie
Henry John Reynolds-Moreton, 3rd Earl of Ducie, GCVO, PC (25 June 1827 – 28 October 1921) was a British peer and briefly a Liberal Party politician, known as Lord Moreton from 1840–53.
Moreton was the eldest son of the 2nd Earl Ducie and his wife, Elizabeth Dutton (daughter of John, 2nd Lord Sherbourne) and was educated at Eton. On 24 May 1849, he married his first cousin, Julia (daughter of James Langston, MP) and they had two children:
*Henry Haughton Reynolds-Moreton, Lord Moreton (1857–1920), politician.
*Lady Constance Emily Reynolds-Moreton (died 1920), married the 1st Baron Eversley.
In 1852, he entered Parliament as MP for Stroud, but held the seat for less than a year when he succeeded to his father's titles in 1853. In 1857 he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire and in 1859, was admitted to the Privy Council and appointed Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard. In 1888, he was appointed Lord Warden of the Stannaries and admitted to the Duchy of Cornwall Council and knighted for his services in 1906.
As his son predeceased him, Lord Ducie's titles passed to his brother, Berkeley Basil Moreton, when he died, aged 94 in 1921.
