Sir Fitzroy Hamilton Niall Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, 1st Baronet (5 July 1872 – 29 September 1957), born FitzRoy Hamilton Niall Lloyd-Anstruther, was an English baronet.
Early life
[edit]Fitzroy was born at Frogmore Park, Hampshire,[1] the son of Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Hamilton Lloyd-Anstruther (1841–1914), by his marriage on 5 July 1871 to Gertrude Louisa Georgina FitzRoy (1850–1923), a daughter of Francis Horatio FitzRoy (1823–1900), by his marriage in 1849 to the Hon. Gertrude Duncombe (1827–1916).[2] His paternal grandparents were James Hamilton Lloyd-Anstruther (1806–1882) and Georgiana Charlotte Burrell (1811–1843), who had been married in 1838. Georgiana's paternal grandparents were Peter Burrell, 1st Baron Gwydyr and Priscilla Bertie, 21st Baroness Willoughby de Eresby.[3]
He had a brother, Reginald Lloyd-Anstruther, who died as a child in 1875, and a sister, Rosalind Gertrude (died 1903), the wife of Brigadier General Noel Armar Lowry-Corry (1867–1935), by whom she had issue.[citation needed]
He was educated at Harrow School.
Military career
[edit]FitzRoy joined the army as a staff officer.[2] On 7 November 1910 he changed his surname name from Lloyd-Anstruther to Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, discarding the name of Lloyd and adding his wife's surnames. Before World War I he served as a part-time lieutenant in the Army Motor Reserve, then in September 1915 was appointed as an aide-de-camp on the General Staff, ending the war with the rank of captain.[4] He was created a Baronet on 1 July 1929.[5]
Later life
[edit]On 11 October 1898, FitzRoy Lloyd-Anstruther (as he then was) married the Hon. Rachel Gough-Calthorpe (1871–1951), a daughter of Augustus Gough-Calthorpe, 6th Baron Calthorpe, and Maud Augusta Louisa Duncombe.[4] They had issue:
- Sir Richard Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, 2nd Baronet (1908–1985), who married Nancy Moireach Malcolmson, and had issue;
- Frances Jean Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe (29 June 1910 – 27 October 1995), who on 13 September 1942 married Frank Alleyne Stockdale, and had issue; and
- Barbara Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe (24 October 1911 – 30 December 2006), who on 4 February 1932 married Ian St John Lawson-Johnston, and had issue.[6]
In 1933 the family was still living at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire, when it and nearby Minley Manor were threatened by a significant heath wildfire that involved a response by over one thousand soldiers and firefighters.[7][8]
He enjoyed sailing as a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron, including possessing the yacht Amaryllis (1930),[9] steam yacht Ombra (1937),[10] and yacht Wren (1947),[11] as did his son.[12] Both father and son also enjoyed golf at the North Hants Golf Club, Fleet, Hampshire.[13]
In 1956 he was the president of the Odiham Scout District association.[14]
Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe died in 1957 at the Royal Masonic Hospital, London, aged 85.[15]
