Piers Anthony Weymouth Wedgwood, Lord Wedgwood 1954 - 2014
Many obituaries have appeared around the world upon the recent death of our friend Lord Wedgwood. There are some errors in many of them. He was 15 when he assumed the Wedgwood peerage, upon the death of his father, also at an early age, in 1970. He was not a member of the House of Lords after the 1999 Peerage Act, but of course still retained his title. He was a member of the Royal Automobile Club of England, the London Racquet Club and The Philadelphia Club and a member of several Wedgwood societies around the globe. His Memorial Service will take place on March first in Philadelphia. If you wish to make any comments about your own encounters with His Lordship, feel free to comment here.
Well, I messed up! I used the same email address to set up my family blog as well as my Wedgwood blog. I apologize for the confusion. No matter which blog you are on, it's me! Please just read on and you'll figure it out! Besides my long-time Wedgwood addiction, I'm a genealogist among other things, with a long-time passion for family history. I hope you will contact me if you feel you may be related. I'm happy to share family information and am always looking to enhance my own tree branches. I've been collecting and studying Wedgwood for more years than I care to admit, suffice it to say many, and love to correspond with other collectors. Get in touch, even if you aren't ready to buy! Share your collections, ask questions, let us know what's on your mind! I am learning some Dutch! One of my all time favorite descriptions is 'Josiah Wedgwood father of English Potteries', so here it is in Dutch: "Wedgwood De vader van de Engelse pottenbakkers" - My favorite new word pottenbakkers!!!
Please email me at wedgwood@alexisantiques.com so I can give you the information you request. Thank you!
