Earl of Enniskillen is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. Subsidiary titles held by the Earl include: Viscount Enniskillen (created 1776), Baron Mountflorence (1760) and Baron Grinstead (1815).
John Arthur Earls, the son of John Alexander Earls and Edith Burchell Earls of "Albacutya", Nile Street, Orange, New South Wales and a private in the Australian Epeditionary Force was killed on Oct.12, 1916, aged 23 and is buried at the Bedford House Cemetery.
Patrick Earls, the son of the late Thomas and Elizabeth Earls and and a rifleman in the Royal Irish Rifles was killed on Sep.25, 1915, aged 45 and is remembered on the Ypres Memorial.
John Earls (jearls@pucp.edu.pe) was born on Sep.20, 1934, in Sydney, Australia, and graduated from the University of New South Wales in 1953 with a degree in physics.
The 3rd Earl of Enniskillen (1807-1886), M.P. for Co. Fermanagh, 1831-1840, and Colonel of the Fermanagh Militia,1834-1875, was a 'nobleman of high culture', and a distinguished amateur scientist who travelled throughout the Continent pursuing his geological interests.
The 4th Earl, apart from his five years as MP for Enniskillen, is not supposed to have been specially distinguished (although this is belied by a scrapbook of newspaper obituaries of him following his death in 1924).
There is a magnificent MS 'Genealogy of the family of Casamajor [to whom the recently (1855) deceased first wife of the 3rd Earl of Enniskillen belonged], showing their descent from the Kings of Castile and Leon, and deduced from the year 1250 to the present time', 1863.
