The late Lord Camoys, 1881. Engraving from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company. Our last week's "Obituary" contained a notice of this deceased nobleman, who died, on the 18th January, in the eighty-fourth year of his age, at Stonor, Henley-on-Thames, the family seat. His Lordship's son, the Hon. Francis Stonor, second but surviving son and heir, who was son-in-law to the late Sir Robert Peel, and a clerk to the House of Lords, died about a week before his father, at the age of fifty-one. The title descends to a grandson. The late Lord Camoys was Thomas Stonor, son of a gentleman of that name by Catherine, daughter of Mr. Henry Blundell. The ancient peerage of Camoys, a Barony, dating from 1383, had been in abeyance since it became extinct in the reign of Henry IV. It was revived in 1839, in favour of the late Lord Camoys, who was, in the maternal line, descended from the second Baron. He was married to a daughter of Mr. Peregrine Towneley, of Towneley Hall, Lancashire. He twice contested the city of Oxford, and once the county, but without success. He four times held the office of a Lord in Waiting, in the Queen's Household, under Conservative Administrations'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
