Looks like you might be right Cashy and have some blue blood to boot, 'fraid he was a Conservative though!
Hope you don't mind me looking up your birthday on your profile 
Edward George Villiers Stanley, 17th Earl of DerbyKG, GCB, GCVO, TD, PC, KGStJ, JP (died February 1948), known as Lord Stanley from 1893 to 1908, was a British soldier,Conservative politician, diplomat and racehorse owner. He was twice Secretary of State for War and also served as British Ambassador to France.
He was a Lancashire peer - home Knowsley Hall.
His biggest achievement though was his breeding of the horse Phalaris. Phalaris was a champion sprinter and a stallion par excellence responsible for establishing the most dominant sire line in Europe and later, the United States through his four sons - Sickle, Pharamond, Pharos and Fairway. Do you like a bet on the horses by any chance
