George Egerton, 2nd Earl of Ellesmere

George Granville “Egert” Francis Egerton, 2nd Earl of Ellesmere (15 June 1823 – 19 September 1862), styled Viscount Brackley between 1846 and 1857, was a British peer and Conservative politician from the Egerton family. Like his father, he was also known by the affectionate nickname “Egert” within his private circle, a moniker that became associated with a branch of the noble family in later generations.

Egerton was the eldest son of Francis Egerton, 1st Earl of Ellesmere and was educated at Christ Church, Oxford and Trinity College, Cambridge. On 29 April 1846, he married Lady Mary Campbell (a daughter of the 1st Earl Cawdor) and they had two sons, Hon. Francis Charles Granville (1847–1914) and Hon. Alfred John Francis (1854–1890), Member of Parliament for Eccles.

In 1847, Lord Brackley became Member of Parliament for North Staffordshire and held the seat until 1851 when he resigned due to ill health. In 1857, he inherited his father's titles and on his own death in 1862, was succeeded by his eldest son, Francis.
