Cuthbert Kenworthy, 9th Baron Strabolgi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cuthbert Matthias Kenworthy (24 February 1853 - 12 February 1934) was the 9th Baron Strabolgi, in the English peerage.[1]

His parents were Joseph Kenworthy and Harriet Elizabeth Leatham. He was educated at Rossall School in Lancashire, and attended Pembroke College, Cambridge.[1] On 15 August 1884 Kenworthy married Elizabeth Florence of Sacramento, California. In January 1913 she was convicted of obtaining money by false pretenses.[1]

In 1909, Kenworthy, along with Alexander Leith and R.G. Alexander, petitioned for the recreation of three baronies that had gone extinct: the baronies of Cobham, Strabolgi, and Burgh. In 1914 the House of Lords granted Kenworthy's petition, and he became the 9th Baron Strabolgi.[1]

He died on 12 February 1934, and his son Joseph succeeded him as 10th Baron Strabolgi.[1]
