Vesey Dawson, 2nd Earl of Dartrey (22 April 1842 – 14 June 1920), styled Viscount Cremorne between 1866 and 1897,[1] was an IrishLiberal politician.[2][3]
Dawson was the eldest child of Richard Dawson, 1st Earl of Dartrey (then Lord Cremorne), and his wife, Augusta Stanley, daughter of Edward Stanley and Lady Mary Maitland. He became known by the courtesy title Viscount Cremorne in July 1866 upon his father's elevation to an earldom. Educated at Eton College, he later became a captain and, later still, a lieutenant-colonel in the Coldstream Guards, retiring from the British Army in 1876.[3][4] In 1882, the then Lord Cremorne married Julia Georgiana Sarah Wombwell, daughter of Sir George Orby Wombwell and Lady Julia Sarah Alice Child-Villiers. Together, they had three children:[2][3]
Earl and Countess Dartrey attended the 1903 Delhi Durbar to mark the accession of King Edward VII as Emperor of India.[6]
