Bury, Alfred, 5th earl of Charleville

• Lord Charleville (1874-1875)

Alfred Bury was the youngest son of Charles William, 2nd earl of Charleville and his wife Harriet Charlotte Beaujolois Campbell. His brother the 3rd earl and wife both died in their mid-thirties leaving five young children as wards of court. Alfred was named as their guardian and brought them up in Charleville Castle. He married Emily Frances Wood but they had no children. When his nephew and former ward, the 4th earl, died at the young age of 22 in New York in 1874, the earldom reverted to Alfred. He was only to be Earl of Charleville for one year as he died in Brighton in 1875. He had no male heirs and the title became extinct.
