John Wodehouse, 4th Earl of Kimberley (12 May 1924 – 26 May 2002), styled Lord Wodehouse between 1932 and 1941, was an active British peer, and also a bobsled racer and Cresta member. ==Family== Wodehouse was the son of John Wodehouse, 3rd Earl of Kimberley, and succeeded in the earldom in 1941 after his father was killed in an air raid. He was educated at Eton and Magdalene College, Cambridge, and served in the Grenadier Guards Armoured Division in 1943–45.〔''Dod's Parliamentary Companion 1991'', 172nd edition, Hurst Green, Sussex,p.172.〕 He was a distant kinsman of author P.G. Wodehouse (they were third cousins thrice removed). He had the reputation of being Britain's most married peer, having married Diana Legh, daughter of Sir Piers Legh, in 1945 as the first of six wives. They divorced in 1948, and he married Australian Carmel Dunnett (née Maguire) in 1949. They had a son, John Wodehouse, 5th Earl of Kimberley, but divorced in 1952. He tried again in 1953 with Cynthia Abdy Westendarp, but they too were divorced in 1961; together they had a son, Henry, who served in the Special Branch of the Metropolitan Police. Then he married model Margaret Simons in 1961 but they were also divorced in 1965. Wodehouse then wed Gillian Ireland-Smith in 1970, but they split up so he could marry Jane, the daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel A. P. Consett, DSO, MC, Grenadier Guards, on 20 August 1982.〔''Dod's Parliamentary Companion 1991'', 172nd edition, Hurst Green, Sussex,p.172.〕 This marriage lasted for the remainder of his life and gave him much happiness.
