- William_Watson-Armstrong,_1st_Baron_Armstrong abstract "William Henry Armstrong Fitzpatrick Watson-Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong, DL, Hon. DCL (3 May 1863 – 16 October 1941), was a British benefactor.Born William Watson, he was born at 65 Eccleston Square, London, the son of John William Watson, of Adderstone Hall, Belford, Northumberland, son of Sir William Henry Watson, Baron of the Exchequer, and Anne Armstrong, daughter of William Armstrong, a corn merchant and Mayor of Newcastle upon Tyne, whose son William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong was the founder of the Armstrong Whitworth manufacturing empire. His mother was Margaret Godman Fitzpatrick, daughter of Patrick Persse Fitzpatrick, of Bognor Regis, Sussex. He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1889 he assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Armstrong.Watson-Armstrong served as a Major in the Northumberland Hussars, was High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1899 and appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of Northumberland in 1901. In 1900 he succeeded to the vast fortune of his great-uncle, Lord Armstrong. The following year he gave £100,000 (£9,192,210 as of 2014), for the building of the new Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle upon Tyne, for which the city conferred upon him the honorary Freedom in July 1901. The original 1753 infirmary building at Forth Banks near the river Tyne were inadequate and impossible to expand.In September 1901 he was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law (DCL) from the University of Durham.In 1903 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Armstrong, of Bamburgh and Cragside in the County of Northumberland, a revival of the barony which had become extinct on his great-uncle's death three years earlier.Lord Armstrong was married three times. He married firstly Winifreda Jane Adye, daughter of General Sir John Miller Adye, in 1889. They had one son and one daughter. After her death in December 1914 he married secondly Beatrice Elizabeth Cowx, daughter of Jonathan Cowx, in 1916. After her death in November 1934 he married thirdly Kathleen England, daughter of Reverend Charles Thorpe England, in 1935. The last two marriages were childless. Lord Armstrong died in October 1941, aged 78, and was succeeded in the barony by his only son, William. Lady Armstrong died in 1970.".
