Title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom

Edward Law,
 1st Baron Ellenborough

**Baron Ellenborough**, of [Ellenborough](/source/Ellenborough%2C_Cumbria) in the [County of Cumberland](/source/Cumberland), is a title in the [Peerage of the United Kingdom](/source/Peerage_of_the_United_Kingdom).[1] It was created on 19 April 1802 for the lawyer, judge and politician [Sir Edward Law](/source/Edward_Law%2C_1st_Baron_Ellenborough), [Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench](/source/Lord_Chief_Justice_of_England_and_Wales) from 1802 to 1818. His son, the second Baron, notably served as [Governor-General of India](/source/Governor-General_of_India). On 22 October 1844 the second Baron was created **Viscount Southam**, of [Southam](/source/Southam%2C_Gloucestershire) in the [County of Gloucester](/source/County_of_Gloucester), and **Earl of Ellenborough**, in the County of Cumberland.[2] These titles were also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. His only son predeceased him and on his death in 1871 the viscountcy and earldom became extinct.

However, he was succeeded in the barony by his nephew, the third Baron. He was the son of the Hon. [Charles Law](/source/Charles_Law_(British_politician)), [Member of Parliament](/source/Member_of_Parliament) for [Cambridge University](/source/Cambridge_University_(UK_Parliament_constituency)), second son of the first Baron. In 1885 he assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Towry (which was that of his father's mother). On the death of his son, the fourth Baron, this line of the family failed. He was succeeded by his cousin, the fifth Baron. When he died the title passed to his younger brother, the sixth Baron. As of 2016[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baron_Ellenborough&action=edit) the title is held by the latter's great-grandson, the ninth Baron, who succeeded his father in 2013.[3]
