Edward Stanley, 5th Baronet of Bickerstaffe was born 17 Sep 1689 at Knowsley, the son of Thomas Stanley the 4th Baronet.  He was undoubtedly amazed when upon the death in 1736 of his quite distant cousin James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby, all of James' titles devolved upon him as heir-male.  Edward Stanley thus became the 11th Earl of Derby.  Edward Stanley had married on 14 Sep 1714 Elizabeth Hesketh the only daughter of Robert Hesketh of Rufford.  Edward and Elizabeth had son:

When the last Earl of Derby in the direct line died, the Earldom went to his heir-male, but the Lordship of the Isle of Man, which was held to be able to descend in the female line as well, went to a closer relative, the grandson of Charles Stanley, 8th Earl's sister Amelia Ann Sophia Stanley.  Amelia had married John Murray, 1st Marquess of Atholl and they had a son John Murray, 1st Duke of Atholl (born 24 Feb 1660).  John Murray in turn had a son James Murray, 2nd Duke of Atholl who, thus, in 1736 became Lord of the Isle of Man.
