- William Cholmondeley, 3rd Marquess of Cholmondeley
William Henry Hugh Cholmondeley, 3rd Marquess of Cholmondeley (31 March 1800-16 December 1884), known as Lord William Cholmondeley until 1870, was a British peer and Conservative Member of Parliament.
Cholmondeley was the younger son of George James Cholmondeley, 1st Marquess of Cholmondeley, and Lady Georgiana Charlotte Bertie, daughter of Peregrine Bertie, 3rd Duke of Ancaster and Kesteven. Prime Minister Robert Walpole was his great-great-grandfather. Cholmondeley was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. In 1822 he was elected to the House of Commons for Castle Rising, a seat he held until 1832, when the constituency was abolished by the Great Reform Act. He remained out of Parliament for the next twenty years, but in 1852 he was returned for South Hampshire, which constituency he represented until 1857. In 1870 he succeeded his elder brother as third Marquess of Cholmondeley and entered the House of Lords.
Lord Cholmondeley married Marcia Emma Georgiana Arbuthnot, daughter of Charles Arbuthnot, in 1825. She died in 1878. Cholmondeley survived her by six years and died in December 1884, aged 84. He was succeeded in his titles by his grandson George, his eldest son Charles George Cholmondeley, Viscount Malpas, having predeceased him.
