Evelyn Graves, 9th Baron Graves

Evelyn Paget Graves, 9th Baron Graves (17 May 1926 – 6 December 2002), was an Australian farmer and peer.

Graves was born in Tasmania, Australia, and worked as a farmer. In 1994 he succeeded his second cousin as ninth Baron Graves. However, as this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords. Lord Graves married Marjorie Ann, OAM (1992), on 13 March 1957. He died on 6 December 2002, aged 76, leaving two sons (one deceased), two daughters and 10 grandchildren. He was succeeded in the barony by his son Timothy.
