Son of General Charles Grey and nephew of 3rd earl; succeeded his uncle in 1894. Married Alice, daughter of R. Stayner Holford M.P., of Westonbirt, Gloucs. One son, four daughters. The 4th earl was a colourful character, involved in a great
variety of activities and interests. He started his career as an M.P., then managed his uncle's estates, was involved in the British South Africa Company, and was Administrator of Rhodesia in 1896 and Governor-General of Canada 1904-1911. He took a
leading role in movements such as co-operation and co-partnership, temperance (public house trusts), electoral reform (proportional representation), church reform, university extension, garden cities, and, above all, imperialism (imperial
federation, Dominion House). Never rich, he made continual attempts to improve his finances by investment in all sorts of concerns, usually ending disastrously.
The contents of the papers closely reflect the 4th earl's varied career and multifarious interests. South Africa, Rhodesia, Canada, imperialism and co-operation are particularly strongly represented. The volumes in the collection include diaries
and journals, notebooks on a wide variety of topics in which the earl was interested, notes on his reading, financial records, drawings, and scrapbooks of press cuttings etc.

earl's papers in Durham by photostat copies (boxes 247-254). In other cases the originals of material relating to Canada are in Durham, with copies in the Public Archives of Canada. The material given to Canada was selected by the Dominion Archivist
in 1955. When all or the greater part of a file concerned Canada, the original was given to the Public Archives, and a copy was left in Durham; when the greater part of a file did not concern Canada, the file was left in Durham, and photostats of
the relevant material went to the Public Archives. All the material held by the Canadian Public Archives, both originals and copies, is listed in Public Archives, Canada,
