In 1825, the title of Marquis of Clanricard ( Peerst of Ireland ) was created for him. In 1826, he received the title of Baron Somerhill from Somerhill in Kent in the rank of peer of the United Kingdom . This last title gave the Earls and Marquises of Clanricard an automatic seat in the House of Lords of Great Britain . Lord Clanricard was married to the Honorable Harriet Canning (1804–1876), daughter of British Prime Minister George Canning (1770–1827) and Joan Canning, 1st Viscountess Canning (1776–1837).
