This branch of the Egerton family descended in the female line from the Hon. Thomas Egerton, of Tatton Park in Cheshire, the youngest son of John Egerton, 2nd Earl of Bridgewater. His granddaughter Hester (died 1780) married William Tatton, and in 1780 they assumed by Royal licence the surname of Egerton in lieu of Tatton. In 1859 William Egerton (1806–1883), a major landowner in the Manchester area, was created Baron Egerton. He was succeeded by his eldest son Wilbraham (1832–1909), who was created Viscount Salford and Earl Egerton in 1897. On his death in 1909 the viscountcy and earldom became extinct. He was succeeded in the barony by his younger brother, the 3rd Baron Egerton (1845–1920). When he died the titles passed to his son, Maurice Egerton, the fourth Baron. Maurice did not marry and on his death in 1958 the barony became extinct, and Tatton Park was given to the National Trust.
