- Francis Needham, 3rd Earl of Kilmorey
Francis Charles Needham, 3rd Earl of Kilmorey KP (2 August 1842-28 July 1915), known as Viscount Newry from 1851 to 1880, was an Anglo-Irish peer and Conservative Member of Parliament.
Kilmorey was the eldest son of Francis Needham, Viscount Newry, son of Francis Needham, 2nd Earl of Kilmorey. His mother was Anne Amelia Colville, daughter of General Sir Charles Colville. He was elected to the House of Commons for Newry in 1871, a seat he held until 1874. In 1880 he succeeded his grandfather as Earl of Kilmorey, but as this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to an automatic seat in the House of Lords. However, the following year Kilmorey was elected an Irish Representative Peer, and sat in the House of Lords until his death in 1915. In 1890 he was made a Knight of the Order of St Patrick.
Lord Kilmorey married Ellen Constance Baldock, daughter of Edward Holmes Baldock, in 1881. He died in July 1915, aged 72, and was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son Francis. Lady Kilmorey died in 1920.
