Baron Waltham, of
Philipstown in the
King's County, was a title in the
Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1762 for
John Olmius, previously
Member of Parliament for
Weymouth and Melcombe Regis and
Colchester. His son, the second Baron, represented
Maldon in the
House of Commons. However, he was childless and on his death in 1787 the barony became extinct. The Honourable Elizabeth Olmius, only daughter of the first Baron, married
John Luttrell, later third Earl of Carhampton. In 1787 he assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Olmius as a mark of respect for his father-in-law. However, the earldom and its subsidiary titles became extinct on his death in 1829.
The family seat was
New Hall, near
Boreham,
Essex.
