NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Baron Auckland

The Barony of Auckland exists in both the Peerage of Ireland and the Peerage of Great Britain. The first creation came in 1789 when the then Postmaster-General William Eden was created Baron Eden in the Peerage of Ireland. In 1793, he was made Baron Auckland, of West Auckland in the County of Durham, in the Peerage of Great Britain and therefore obtained a seat in the House of Lords. The Peerage of Ireland is the term used for those peers created by British monarchs in their capacity as Lord or King of Ireland. ... The Peerage of Great Britain comprises all extant peerages created in the Kingdom of Great Britain after the Act of Union 1707 but before the Act of Union 1800. ...

Lord Auckland's younger brother was Morton Eden, 1st Baron Henley. They were both members of the prominent Eden family. Their eldest brother Sir John Eden, 4th Baronet, of West Auckland, was the great-great-grandfather of Anthony Eden, 1st Earl of Avon and the great-great-great-grandfather of John Benedict Eden, Baron Eden of Winton. Robert Anthony Eden, 1st Earl of Avon, KG (June 12, 1897 - January 14, 1977), British politician, was Foreign Secretary during World War II and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the 1950s. ...

The second Baron Auckland, George, was created Earl of Auckland in 1839 while he served as Governor-General of India. However, the Earldom became extinct when he died while he was succeeded in the Baronies by his younger brother.
