Grosvenor family of Eaton, Later Earls, Marquesses, and Dukes of Westminster
Dates: Early eighteenth century onward in the cited Aldford descent
Biography
The Grosvenor family acquired Aldford in the early eighteenth century and incorporated it into the Eaton estate. Nineteenth-century gazetteers state that the manor belonged to the Marquess of Westminster.
Notes / Sources
The nineteenth-century material confirms estate possession but does not independently reconstruct every intervening title succession.
