Thomas was See also:father of the first See also:earl of See also:Derby (see DERBY, EARLS OF) and of Sir William Stanley of See also:Holt, whose See also:great See also:wealth led to his See also:execution for See also:treason in 1495, and also of Sir John Stanley, ancestor of the Stanleys of Alderley, who obtained a baronetcy in 166o and a See also:barony in 1839.
Of the second earl's younger brothers, Sir See also:Edward was raised to the See also:peerage as See also:Lord See also:Monteagle in 1514 for his services at See also:Flodden, but the dignity passed with an heiress to the Parkers in 1581; and Sir See also:- JAMES

James was ancestor of the Stanleys of See also:Bickerstaffe, who obtained a baronetcy in 1628 and succeeded to the earldom in 1736. Their father had married the heiress of Lord See also:Strange of Knockyn, and was summoned in that peerage from 1482 to 1497, but did not live to inherit the earldom. His wife was a first See also:cousin of Henry VII.'s See also:queen.
The 4th earl ,was summoned as Lord Strange, in his father's lifetime, as was the 5th earl, but the barony See also:fell into See also:abeyance between his three daughters, who contested See also:possession of the family estates with his brother, the 6th earl. He bought out their rights in the Isle of Man, and, by his See also:marriage with a See also:sister and co-See also:heir of the 18th earl of See also:- OXFORD

Oxford, acquired a claim to the great chamberlainship, which he advanced in 1626 and which was renewed by their descendants. His son was summoned as Lord Strange in 1628 in the erroneous belief that the family retained the dignity, and a fresh barony of Strange was thus created. But on the See also:death of the loth earl (1736) this barony, with the lordship of Man and other great estates, passed to the 2nd See also:duke of See also:Atholl, whose heir, the See also:present duke, holds the See also:title. The earldom with large estates in See also:Lancashire, passed to the heir male (see above).
Although the present wealth of the Stanleys is largely derived from the great See also:industrial development of Lancashire, they were already a See also:power to be reckoned with in that See also:county and in See also:Cheshire at the time of the See also:Wars of the See also:Roses, and have held a leading position ever since among English nobles. .For three centuries they were in See also:succession lords-lieutenant of Lancashire and occasionally of Cheshire as well, and they have always lived in considerable See also:state. Lathom House, their ancient seat, in the See also:hundred of See also:West Derby (whence possibly the See also:style of their earldom), was wrecked in the See also:Civil See also:War, and, though rebuilt by the ninth earl, was sold by his daughters. But Knowsley, with its great See also:park, is still theirs, lying to the See also:east of Liverpool, in which their feudal See also:tower still stood in 1821.

The barony of STANLEY OF ALDERLEY was created in 1839 for Sir John Thomas Stanley, See also:Bart. (1766-1850), of Alderley Park, Cheshire, a brother of Edward Stanley (1779–1849), See also:bishop of See also:Norwich and father of See also:Arthur See also:Penrhyn Stanley. A member of See also:parliament and a• See also:fellow of the Royal Society, he married Maria Josepha (d. 1863), daughter of John See also:Holroyd,1st earl of See also:Sheffield. Their eldest son, Edward John Stanley, 2nd See also:baron (1802–1869), entered the House of See also:Commons in 1831 and became under-secretary to the See also:home See also:department in 1841, patronage secretary to the See also:treasury from 1835 to 1841, paymaster-See also:general in 1841, and under-secretary for See also:foreign affairs from 1846 to 1852. In 1848, two years before he succeeded to the barony of Stanley, he was created Baron Eddisbury of Winnington. He was See also:president of the See also:board of See also:trade from 1855 to 1858, and postmaster-general from x86o to 1866.

Lee, 13th See also:Viscount Dillon,was a remarkable woman. Before her marriage in 1826 she had lived in See also:Florence, and had attended the receptions of the countess of See also:Albany, the widow of See also:Charles Edward, the Young Pretender; and in London she had great See also:influence in social and See also:political circles. When he was patronage secretary her See also:husband was described by Lord See also:Palmerston as " See also:joint-See also:whip with Mrs Stanley." Later in See also:life See also:Lady Stanley of Alderley helped to found the See also:Women's Liberal Unionist Association, and she was a strenuous worker for the higher See also:education of women, helping to establish Girton See also:College, See also:Cambridge, the Girls' Public See also:Day School See also:Company, and the Medical College for Women. She died on the 16th of See also:February 1895. Her younger son, Edward Lyulph Stanley (b. 1839), who in 1903 succeeded his brother Henry Edward John (1827–1903) as 4th baron, had previously had an active career as an educationist and a Liberal politician. He was a fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, and was M.P. for See also:Oldham from 1880 to 1885. He was for many years a member of the London School Board. In 1909 on the death of the 3rd earl of Sheffield, he inherited the barony of Sheffield, and that of Stanley of Alderley now became merged in it.
