Baron Ponsonby of Imokilly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title Baron Ponsonby of Imokilly, in the County of Cork, was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1806 for the politician William Ponsonby, who had previously represented Cork City, Bandon and Kilkenny in the Irish House of Commons and Kilkenny in the British House of Commons. He was the grandson of the 1st Earl of Bessborough. His son, the 2nd Baron, was a prominent diplomat. In 1839 he was created Viscount Ponsonby, of Imokilly in the County of Cork. However, the Viscountcy became extinct on his death, while the Barony devolved upon his nephew, the 3rd Baron. On the death of the 4th Baron the Barony became extinct as well.
