Viscount Carlingford
Viscount Carlingford, in the County of Louth, was a title that was created twice in the Peerage of Ireland. The first creation came in 1627 in favour of Barnham Swift. He was the son of Sir Robert Swift, High Sheriff of Yorkshire from 1599 to 1600. Lord Carlingford had no sons and the title became extinct on his early death in 1634. The second creation came in 1761 in favour of George Carpenter, 3rd Baron Carpenter. He was made Earl of Tyrconnel at the same time; for more information on this creation, see the latter title.
