Lowry Cole, 4th Earl of Enniskillen

Lowry Egerton Cole, 4th Earl of Enniskillen KP (21 December 1845-28 April 1924), known as Viscount Cole from 1850 to 1886, was an Irish peer and Conservative Member of Parliament.

Cole was the second but eldest surviving son of William Willoughby Cole, 3rd Earl of Enniskillen, and Jane Casamaijor. He was elected to the House of Commons for Enniskillen in 1880, a seat he held until 1885 when the constituency was abolished. The following year he succeeded his father as fourth Earl of Enniskillen and entered the House of Lords. In 1902 he was made a Knight of the Order of St Patrick.

Lord Enniskillen married Charlotte Marion Baird, daughter of Douglas Baird, in 1869. He died in April 1924, aged 78, and was succeeded in his titles by his second but eldest surviving son John. Lady Enniskillen died in 1937.

The third son of Lord Enniskillen was the Honorable Galbraith Lowry Egerton Cole (1881-1929), a pioneer settler (1905) of the East Africa Protectorate. His Kekopey Ranch on Lake Elementaita, Kenya, where he is buried, is preserved today as the Lake Elementaita Lodge.
