Thomas Towneley O'Hagan, 2nd Baron O'Hagan


Thomas Towneley O'Hagan, 2nd Baron O'Hagan, was a British peer and soldier.
He was the eldest son of Thomas O'Hagan, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland in Gladstone's first two governments, and of Alice Towneley from Lancashire's prominent Towneley family, from whom he inherited considerable land holdings of some.
He was educated at Sandhurst. He inherited his title at the age of seven, but never took up his seat in the House of Lords before his premature death.
From 1899, he served in South Africa during Boer War as a lieutenant in the 3rd Battalion of Grenadier Guards, but died abruptly of an unknown illness just over a week after his 22nd birthday. As he died unmarried and without children, the title passed on to his younger brother Maurice.
