- Hon. Brownlow Charles Colyear, inherited the personal property of the Duke of Ancaster on his death in 1809, but died in Rome in 1819 due to injuries sustained in a fight with bandits.
In 1828 Lord Portmore married Frances Murrells, by whom he had no issue.[1]
Lord Portmore was a Member of Parliament (MP) for the borough of Boston in Lincolnshire from 1796 to 1802.[2]
