Early life
[edit]Chaplin was born on 28 March 1842 at Ryhall, Rutland into an old Lincolnshire family. He was the son of Rev. Henry Chaplin and Caroline Horatia Ellice. Among his siblings was elder brother Henry Chaplin, 1st Viscount Chaplin, who inherited substantial estates in Lincolnshire (including the family seat of Blankney Hall), Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire.[1][2]
His maternal grandfather was William Ellice. Among his family were his niece, Edith (who married the 7th Marquess of Londonderry), and nephew, Eric Chaplin, 2nd Viscount Chaplin.[3]
Career
[edit]Chaplin served as a Lieutenant Colonel of the Coldstream Guards.[3]
Chaplin sat as Member of Parliament for Lincoln alongside Charles Seely between 1874 and 1880.[4]
Personal life
[edit]On 18 January 1877, Chaplin was married to Lady Guendolen Theresa Chetwynd-Talbot,[5] a daughter of Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 19th Earl of Shrewsbury and Anna Theresa Cockerell (a granddaughter of architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell and grandniece of Sir Charles Cockerell, 1st Baronet).[6] Together, they were the parents of:[7]
- Muriel Theresa Chaplin (1877–1947), who died unmarried.[7]
- Sibell Evelyn Chaplin (1879–1960), who married Thomas Arthur Armstrong, a son of Maj. Arthur John Armstrong, in 1919.[8]
Chaplin died at Marylebone, in the City of Westminster, in December 1883, aged 41.[3] His wife later remarried Maj. Archibald Cosmo Little, son of Gen. Sir Archibald Little, in 1887, before her death in January 1937.[3]
