Henry Reynolds-Moreton, Lord Moreton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Haughton Reynolds-Moreton, Lord Moreton DL (4 March 1857 – 28 February 1920), was a British Liberal Party politician.

Moreton was the son of Henry Reynolds-Moreton, 3rd Earl of Ducie, and his wife Julia (née Langston). He entered Parliament for Gloucestershire West in the 1880 general election, a seat he held until 1885. He married Ada Margarette Smith on 18 December 1888[1] and had no issue.[2]

He edited a glossary of old Gloucestershire words and phrases (published in 1890), to which he also contributed a list of dialect words from Tortworth, where he lived at Tortworth Court.[3]

Lord Moreton died in February 1920, aged 62, predeceasing his father by one year. His uncle Hon. Berkeley Basil Moreton later succeeded in the earldom.
