BackgroundKerry was born at Lansdowne House, London, the eldest son of Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 3rd Marquess of Lansdowne, and Lady Louisa Emma, daughter of Henry Fox-Strangways, 2nd Earl of Ilchester.[1] Political careerKerry was returned to Parliament for Calne in 1832, a seat he held until his early death four years later.[1][2] FamilyLord Kerry married Lady Augusta Lavinia Priscilla, daughter of John Ponsonby, 4th Earl of Bessborough, in 1834. They had one daughter, Mary, who married Percy Egerton Herbert. Lord Kerry died at Lansdowne House, London, in August 1836, aged 25. His younger brother Henry later succeeded in the marquessate.[1] Lady Kerry later remarried and died in November 1904, aged 90. Recent research has revealed that Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, (Kate Middleton), is a collateral descendant of Prime Minister, William Petty, 1st Marquess of Lansdowne (1737-1805), who is the grandfather of Lord Kerry. The connection is through Lady Bullock, née Barbara May Lupton (1891-1974) who is the Duchess' second cousin, thrice removed.[3][4] References1. ^1 2 thepeerage.com 2. ^leighrayment.com 3. ^thepeerage.com 4. ^{{cite web|last=Nikkhah|first=Roya|title=Duchess discovers blue blood in her own family|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/kate-middleton/9747412/Duchess-of-Cambridge-discovers-blue-blood-in-her-own-family.html|work=Duchess discovers blue blood in her own family|publisher=UK Sunday Telegraph|accessdate=26 January 2014|quote=The Duchess’ family tree has uncovered her link to William Petty FitzMaurice, the 1st Marquess of Lansdowne, who served as prime minister from 1782 to 1783 and is best remembered by historians for negotiating the end of the American War of Independence.}} External links
