SECOND VISCOUNT ULLSWATER
GREAT-GRANDSON INHERITS TITLE LONDON. March 28. A seven-year-old orphan has succeeded his great-grandfather as the new Viscount Ullswater. A spokesman for Debrett’s said to-day that they can find only four other cases of a greatgrandson succeeding to a title in the whole history of the English peerage. The first Viscount Ullswater, who was Speaker in the House of Commons from 1905 to 1921, died last night aged 93. His successor is Nicholas James Christopher Lowther, whose father, secretary to the Duke of Kent, was killed when their aircraft crashed in Scotland in 1942. Nicholas’s mother died in 1945.
