Background

Scarbrough was the eldest son of Richard Lumley-Saunderson, 4th Earl of Scarbrough, and Barbara Savile, daughter of Sir George Savile, 7th Baronet. He was educated at Eton College from 1764 to 1770 and was admitted at Kings College, Cambridge in 1771.[1]

Later life

Lord Scarbrough died in September 1807, aged 53. He never married and was succeeded by his younger brother, Richard.[2]
