Person Cust; Brownlow (1744 - 1807); Baron Brownlow of Belton Cust Brownlow Brownlow 1744 - 1807 British Male 03 December 1744 25 December 1807

Honours: Baron 1776 Known as Cust; Sir Brownlow; 4th Baronet from 1770-1776, when he has elevated to Baron. In the Record of the Royal Society the name of this Fellow, elected 8/5/1783 is given as Lord John Brownlow which appears to be a mistake that was later replicated in this authority file. Of the various Lord John Brownlows of Belton (1st Baronet, 1590-1679; 3rd Baronet, 1659-1697; and 5th Baronet, 1st Viscount Tyrconnel 1690-1754 (FRS 1735)) none were alive to be elected in 1783. The direct male Brownlow lineage and titles ended with the death of Brownlow Cust's maternal unlce John Brownlow, 1st Viscount Tyrconnel in 1754. Cust was given the christian name Brownlow as it was his mother's maiden name and 'Brownlow' seems at some point to have been mistaken by the Royal Society for his surname or confused with his unlce John Brownlow elected FRS 1735. The name on this authority record has been corrected to Brownlow Cust to match the date of election and dates of existence as previously listed, and the individual who was Baron Brownlow at election date 8 May 1783. John Brownlow has been retained as another form of name though it does not seem to have been used for this individual anywhere other than the Record of the Royal Society. 11/09/2020 Fellow 08/05/1783 Sources: Bulloch's Roll International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) - Ottawa 1996 ISBN 0-9696035-3-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 3 Dec 1744 - 25 Dec 1807 NA199 21/11/2001 Andyg pmab 25/02/2026 RS_NET\VidaM Yes 6a40db9b-ebb9-4477-a677-dc98a59a4b91
