  Cowper, was born at Brocket
Hall
 , Hertfordshire, on the 13th of December 1811. He was educated at Eton, and entered the Royal Horse Guards,. attaining the rank of brevet-major in 1852.

As

His mother, who married Lord Palmerston as her second husband, died in 1869, and under his stepfather's will William Cowper succeeded to some of the Palmerston estates in Ireland and
Hampshire
 , and assumed the additional name of Temple. He was M.P. for South
