John George Chetwynd-Talbot, 21st Earl of Shrewsbury, 21st Earl of Waterford, 6th Earl Talbot (21 January 1914 – 12 November 1980), styled Viscount of Ingestre from 1915 to 1921, was a British peer.

Life

[edit]

He was the son of Charles John Alton Chetwynd-Talbot, Viscount of Ingestre (1882–1915), and Lady Winifred Constance Hester Paget, sister of the Marquess of Anglesey. He inherited the title Earl of Shrewsbury when his grandfather Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 20th Earl of Shrewsbury, died in 1921.[citation needed]

He married his first wife, Nadine Muriel Crofton (1913–2003), in 1936.[1][2] He sued for divorce in 1958, but in 1959 judge Charles A. Collingwood rejected the divorce suit.[3][4] In a subsequent proceeding, a divorce was granted.[1]

Shrewsbury was the Honorary Air Commodore of No. 3509 (Staffordshire) Fighter Control Unit before it was disbanded on 11 May 1957.[5]

Lord Shrewsbury's second wife was Nina Mortlock.[1] His son Charles[6] succeeded to Lord Shrewsbury's titles on his death.
