Family and peerage[edit]
Ludlow was the younger son of Peter Ludlow, 1st Earl Ludlow, by Lady Frances, daughter of Thomas Lumley-Saunderson, 3rd Earl of Scarbrough. Ludlow succeeded his elder brother Augustus in the earldom in 1811. As this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords. However, in 1831 he was created Baron Ludlow in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, which enabled him to take a seat in the upper chamber of parliament.[4]
Lord Ludlow died in April 1842, aged 83. He was unmarried and all his titles became extinct on his death.[2]
