List of related life peers

This is a list of people with peerages of the United Kingdom created under the Life Peerages Act 1958 and Lords of Appeal in Ordinary (whose life peerages are created under the Appellate Jurisdiction Act 1876) who are closely related to one another, either by blood up to the degree of third cousins, or by marriage or cohabitation. This list is ordered by the antiquity of the earliest title each family has.

Hurd/Hurd of Westwell/Cowdrey of Tonbridge/Kerr of Monteviot

Four generations of the Hurd family have sat as Conservative MPs. The two middle generations have been given life peerages (Lord Hurd of Westwell notably serving as Foreign Secretary under Margaret Thatcher and John Major), and the youngest married the daughter of The Most Hon. the Marquess of Lothian and The Rt. Hon. the Lady Herries of Terregles in 2010. Lord Lothian also sat as a Conservative MP, and was given a life peerage upon retirement from the Commons. Despite already succeeding to his titles, he did so after the House of Lords Act 1999 removed the automatic right of hereditary peers to sit in the Lords, and so required a life peerage to be able to sit there. Lord Lothian married the 16th Lady Herries of Terregles in 1975. Her elder sister, the 14th Lady, married the cricketer Colin Cowdrey in 1985. Cowdrey was given a life peerage by outgoing Prime Minister John Major in 1997. The life peerages are

The Brookes

Both Barbara and her husband Henry Brooke were given life peerages, as was their son, Peter. The titles are:

The Spencer-Churchills and the Soames

Clementine Churchill, wife of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, was created a life peer after her husband's death. One of their daughters married Christopher Soames in 1947, who was later ennobled in like manner. The titles are:

The Hoggs and Boyd-Carpenters

Aside from the hereditary Barony and Viscountcy Hailsham, of Hailsham in the County of Sussex created for Douglas Hogg, four members of these families have been given life peerages. Quintin Hogg, 2nd Viscount Hailsham disclaimed his hereditary peerage in 1963, allowing him to take up a seat in the House of Commons. He was later given a life peerage in 1979 when he was appointed to the role of Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. His daughter-in-law was likewise ennobled for life as was her father. The 3rd Viscount was also given a life peerage, which enables him to sit in the House of Lords following the House of Lords Act 1999, which automatically excludes most hereditary peers. The life peerages are

Rayne/Vane-Tempest-Stewart/Goldsmith

The two daughters of the 8th Marquess of Londonderry connect two life peers; through marriage in one case through descent in the other. Lord Londonderry's elder daughter Lady Jane Vane-Tempest-Stewart married Sir Max Rayne in 1965. Lord Londonderry's younger daughter Lady Annabel Vane-Tempest-Stewart married Sir James Goldsmith (knighted in Harold Wilson's so-called 'lavender list'); one of their sons, Zac Goldsmith, was given a life peerage by Prime Minister Boris Johnson to enable him to stay on in the Cabinet after losing his Richmond Park seat in the 2019 snap General Election. The titles are

The Wolfsons/Rawlings

The titles held by members of the Wolfson family are

Lord Wolfson of Sunningdale and The Baroness Rawlings were married in 1962. Their marriage was dissolved in 1967.

The Watsons of Thankerton

Both William Watson (1827–1899) and his third son, William Watson (1873–1948), were high ranking judges. Each was appointed Lord Advocate, and subsequently a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary. The titles are

The title was created three times for father, son and grandson, all of them at some time Lords of Appeal in Ordinary. The titles are

The Youngers

Aside from the hereditary Viscountcy Younger of Leckie, of Alloa in the County of Clackmannan (1923), two members of the Younger family have been ennobled for life. The younger brother of the first Viscount was a Law Lord and the 4th Viscount was given a peerage in the lifetime of his father, there being no possibility of a writ in acceleration as the Viscounts have no subsidiary barony. The life peerages are

The Keiths

Both James Keith (1886—1964) and his only son, Henry Shanks Keith (1920—2002), were high-ranking judges. Both were Senators of the College of Justice and subsequently Law Lords, each taking the Scottish judicial title Lord Keith in 1937 and 1971 respectively, and then taking the following titles upon being made Law Lords:

Morrison and Mandleson

Both notable Labour Party politicians, Herbert Morrison and his grandson Peter Mandleson were given life peerages. Morrison held the position of Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the House of Commons under Clement Attlee, later 1st Earl Attlee, as well as several other Cabinet positions. Mandleson was a key figure in the 'New Labour' movement and a close confidant of 'New Labour' Prime Minister Tony Blair, who appointed him to several Cabinet positions, as well as to the position of European Commissioner for Trade. The titles are

The Frasers

Ian Fraser was ennobled as a Law Lord in 1975. His son, a former Treasurer of the Conservative Party, was ennobled in David Cameron's Resignation Honours List. The titles are

Lindsay and Nicholson

Just under a year before succeeding to the Earldoms, Robert Lindsay (then styled Lord Balniel) was given a life peerage. It is notable that he entered the House of Lords in this way, as he could conceivably have entered by writ in acceleration using one of his father's junior titles (such as the Wigan Barony, or even the Lindsay and Balniel Lordship of Parliament, with which was then styling himself). His third cousin was also ennobled for life. The titles are

The Vaizeys

John Ernest Vaizey (1929—1984), an economist specialising in education, was given a life peerage in Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson's so-called 'lavender list'. His son, Ed Vaizey (b. 1968), was a Conservative MP, and is to be given a life peerage by Conservative PM Boris Johnson in the delayed 2019 Dissolution Honours list.

The Lane-Foxes

The title Baroness Ravensdale of Kedleston, of Kedleston, in the County of Derby (1958) was given to Irene Curzon, 2nd Baroness Ravensdale, of Ravensdale in the County of Derby (1911) to enable her to take a seat in the House of Lords as it was only after the Peerage Act 1963 that suo jure peeresses could sit in the House by virtue of their hereditary peerages. She was the eldest daughter of The Marquess Curzon of Kedleston, and therefore related to not only future Barons Ravensdale, but also the Barons and Viscounts Scarsdale.

Baroness Emmet of Amberley, of Amberley in the County of Sussex (1965), was the eldest daughter of Rennell Rodd, 1st Baron Rennell.
