Anthony Ashley-Cooper, Lord Ashley

Anthony Ashley-Cooper, Lord Ashley

Anthony Ashley-Cooper, Lord Ashley (4 October 1900 – 8 March 1947) was an English nobleman.

He was the eldest son of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 9th Earl of Shaftesbury and Lady Constance Sibell Grosvenor. He took his courtesy title "Lord Ashley" from one of his father's subsidiary titles, Baron Ashley.

Lord Ashley had two wives, Sylvia Hawkes (married 3 February 1927 – divorced 28 November 1934), and Françoise Soulier (married 31 March 1937 – his death). He and the French-born Soulier had two children:
*Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 10th Earl of Shaftesbury (22 May 1938 – November 2004)
*Lady Frances Mary Elizabeth Ashley-Cooper (born 9 April 1940).

Lord Ashley shocked London society by marrying Sylvia, an English model and actress from the chorus line. After she began an affair with American actor Douglas Fairbanks he divorced her, naming Fairbanks as co-respondent.

Though he was in line to inherit the earldom, Ashley, at age forty-six, predeceased his father. Ashley's son inherited the title upon the death of the ninth earl.
