His Early Life
Frederick William Hervey was born on October 2, 1769. His father was Frederick Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol, who was also a bishop. His mother was Elizabeth.
Frederick was the younger son in his family. However, his older brother, John, passed away before their father did. This meant that when their father died in 1803, Frederick inherited his father's noble title. He also had three sisters: Lady Mary Erne, Elizabeth Cavendish, and Louisa Jenkinson.
His Adult Life and Career
In 1786, Frederick Hervey began studying at St John's College, Cambridge. Later, in 1805, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society. This is a special honor given to people who have made important discoveries in science.
In 1806, he inherited land and property from his uncle, Sir Charles Davers. Frederick also worked as a Member of Parliament (MP). An MP is a person elected to represent a group of people in the country's government. He represented the area of Bury St Edmunds from 1796 to 1803.
In 1826, Frederick was given even higher noble titles. He was made the Marquess of Bristol and Earl Jermyn. These are very high ranks in the British nobility. His son, Frederick William, later became the 2nd Marquess after his father's death.
