Reginald Welby, 1st Baron Welby
His younger sister, Felicia Elizabetha Welby (1835–1927), became the wife of Montague Bertie, 11th Earl of Lindsey.[1] Welby held many posts during his tenure at the Treasury and was appointed Assistant Financial Secretary in 1880.Following his retirement, he was raised to the peerage as Baron Welby, of Allington in the County of Lincoln, on 16 April 1894,[2] although he did not play a great part in debates in the House of Lords.[3] Lord Welby also became an alderman of London County Council, eventually becoming its chairman, and served as President of the International Free Trade Congress.Lord Welby was involved in a motorcar accident in December 1914, which he recovered from; however, his subsequent instability caused his death in the autumn of 1915.
