Henry Pelham-Clinton, 6th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne
- Henry Pelham-Clinton, 6th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne
Henry Pelham Alexander Pelham-Clinton was born in 1834 and died in 1879. He was an English nobleman.
Known as Lord Clinton until 1851, and then Lord Lincoln until he inherited the dukedom in 1864, the 6th Duke was educated at Eton College and then Oxford University.
He dabbled briefly with politics, sitting as Member of Parliament for Newark-upon-Trent between 1857 and 1859. This brief interlude marked the full extent of his political career. Unlike his forebears, he held no local offices either, with the exception of his appointment as Provincial Grand Master of the Nottinghamshire Freemasons from 1865 to 1877.
With a fondness for high living, he was a gambler and in 1860 was forced to leave the country for failing to repay his gambling debts, which by that stage amounted to some £230,000. His fortunes were significantly improved as a result of his marriage to the wealthy heiress, Henrietta Hope. Lincoln's financial difficulties meant the marriage had to take place in Paris, but the outcome of the union was that his debts were paid and an income of £50,000 per annum settled on the happy couple.
By this marriage, significant estates in were added to the Newcastle family, though the terms of his father-in-law's will meant that the 6th Duke as he became in 1864 never controlled them.
