Some family extracts:-

Anthony George Merrik Tryon was born on May 26 1940, the son of 2nd Lt Charles Tryon, elder son of Major George Tryon, a Conservative politician who had served in a number of ministerial positions in the inter-war years and who had been raised to the peerage as the first Lord Tryon a month before the birth of his grandson, in April 1940.

The first Lord Tryon did not enjoy his seat in the Upper House for long, as he died six months later. As Charles, Brigadier 2nd Lord Tryon, GCVO, KCB, DSO, DL, Anthony’s father would serve as Assistant Keeper of the Privy Purse to George VI from 1949 to 1952, then as Keeper of the Privy Purse to the Queen until 1971.

From 1942 Anthony’s mother Dreda (daughter of Sir Merrik Burrell, 7th Bt) ran a prep school for girls at the Tryon family home, the Manor House at Great Durnford near Salisbury, partly as a means of “keeping the roof on”.

Brought up in royal circles, Anthony was a Page to his father at the Coronation in 1953, and as a Page of Honour to the Queen from 1954 to 1956 his duties including carrying her train at the State Opening of Parliament and Garter ceremonies.

He was appointed Deputy Lieutenant of Wiltshire in 1991 and OBE in 2001.

He and his wife had two sons and two daughters. His elder son, Charles George Barrington Tryon, born in 1976, inherits the title.
