  • Admiral Henry John Chetwynd-Talbot, 18th Earl of Shrewsbury, 3rd Earl Talbot and 18th Earl of Waterford, CB, PC was a British naval commander and Conservative politician. Shrewsbury was the second but eldest surviving son of the 2nd Earl Talbot and his wife Frances Thomasine (née Lambert). He was styled Viscount Ingestre from the death of his elder brother in 1826 and succeeded his father as 3rd Earl Talbot in 1849. In 1860, following a long and expensive legal case in the House of Lords he succeeded, against the claims of three other parties to the titles and estates of a distant relative and became 18th Earl of Shrewsbury and 18th Earl of Waterford. Shrewsbury entered the Royal Navy in 1817 and was promoted to Captain for his actions at the Battle of Navarino in 1827, where he commanded the H. M. S. Philomel. He became a Rear-Admiral in 1854 and a Vice-Admiral and Admiral in 1865. Shrewsbury was returned to Parliament as one of two representatives for Staffordshire South in 1837, a seat he held until he succeeded his father in the earldom in 1849. After entering the House of Lords he served under the Earl of Derby as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) in 1852 and as Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms (chief government whip in the House of Lords) from 1858 to 1859. In 1858 he was sworn of the Privy Council. Lord Shrewsbury married Lady Sarah Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Beresford, 2nd Marquess of Waterford and his wife Sarah Carpenter, in 1828. They had four sons and four daughters. His second son the Hon. Walter Cecil Carpenter (who assumed this surname by Royal license in lieu of his patronymic) became an Admiral in the Royal Navy and Member of Parliament while his third son the Hon. Sir Reginald Talbot became a prominent soldier, politician and colonial governor. Shrewsbury died in June 1868, aged 64, and was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son Charles, Viscount Ingrestre. Lady Shrewsbury survived her husband by sixteen years and died in October 1884, aged 76.
