History
Sir Alban George Henry Gibbs, 2nd Baron Aldenham, was born on April 23, 1846, in Naples, Italy.
He was a British Conservative Party politician and peer, the son of Henry Hucks Gibbs, 1st Baron Aldenham (1819-1907). He was educated at Eton College and studied at Christ Church, Oxford (B.A., 1870, M.A., 1881). At the 1892 general election, he was elected as a Member of Parliament for the City of London. He held the seat until his resignation from the House of Commons on February 14, 1906, by the procedural device of accepting appointment as Steward of the Manor of Northstead. He succeeded to the title Baron Aldenham on September 13, 1907. He was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London.
In 1873, he married Bridget Beresford-Hope (-1896). He died on May 9, 1936, in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England.
