The 4th Marquess Of Anglesey

The grandson of Wellington's famous cavalry commander at Waterloo, the 4th Marquess had largish estates in Wales and England- covering nearly 30,000 acres in 1882, at the time Bateman did his survey, 'Great Landowners of Great Britain'. The largest holding- some 17,441 acres in Staffordshire - produced a handsome income of £91,304 a year out of a total income of £110,598, which was presumably related to coal revenues.

On the back of that, the total family wealth at the time was around £3.3m, representing 0.3% of the then £1.075bn net national income. Today's equivalent would be over £3.3 bn.
