CECIL WELD-FORESTER, 5TH BARON FORESTER

'Cecil Theodore Weld-Forester, 5th Baron Forester' (3 August 1842-20 November 1917), was a British peer and Conservative Member of Parliament.
Forester was the son of Reverend Orlando Weld-Forester, 4th Baron Forester, and Sophia Elizabeth Norman. He was elected to the House of Commons for Wenlock in 1874 (succeeding his uncle George Weld-Forester), a seat he held until 1885 when the constituency was abolished. In 1894 he succeeded his father as fifth Baron Forester and entered the House of Lords.
Lord Forester married Emma Georgina Dixie, daughter of Sir Willoughby Wolstan Dixie, 8th Baronet, in 1866. He died in November 1917, aged 75, and was succeeded in the barony by his eldest son George. Lady Forester died in 1922.
