Was the Earl the last living Irish peer born before Irish Partition?

No there is an other Irish Peer who  was born in 1912 a collateral of the marquisate of Headfort, Lord Langford.

Is the new earl's son (Hon. Digby Dylan) the heir apparent or is the heir presumptive, the earl's brother, Hon. Michael (b. 1948)?

Debrett's has the son's birthdate in January of the year his parents were married.

Thanks.

Burke's shows a bullet (•) rather than a (+) next to Digby Dylan Vaughan's name, indicating he's not eligible to succeed. I suspect you've identified the reason...

The Wales online obit seems more interesting as it gives more details of the estate (12,000 acres)
