John Stratford, 3rd Earl of Aldborough (–1823), was an Irish peer and member of the House of Stratford. He was known as Hon. John Stratford until 1801 when he inherited the Earldom from his brother Edward Stratford, 2nd Earl of Aldborough.
Arms of Stratford, Earl of Aldborough: Barry of ten argent and azure, a lion rampant gules
In 1763, Stratford replaced his father as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Baltinglass, upon the latter's elevation to the peerage. He held this seat until 1777.[2] In 1776, he was returned to the Irish House of Commons for County Wicklow, replacing Ralph Howard, who had left the House to be elevated to the peerage as Baron Clonmore, and chose to sit for Wicklow in preference to Baltinglass.[2] From 1790, he sat again for Baltinglass until the termination of the Irish Parliament in 1800 by the Act of Union. At the beginning of 1801, he succeeded his older brother Edward as earl.[2]
In 1795, Stratford was appointed Governor of County Wicklow.[3]
Familyedit
In April 1777, he married Elizabeth Hamilton, eldest daughter of Reverend Frederick Hamilton, Archdeacon of Raphoe and son of Lord Archibald Hamilton, and they had several daughters:[4]
Stratford died at Belan House in County Kildare in 1823[4] and lacking male issue, he was succeeded in his titles by his younger brother Benjamin.[7] His wife died in 1845.[8]
