However, there are many reasons why he might not be called that.
He might be using a courtesy title that he was commonly refered by before he succeeded to the hereditary earldom of Shelbourne (and I believe he was a Marquess as well) - for example, Robert Stewart, 2nd Marquess of Londonderry was known as "Viscount Castlereagh" even after he became Marquess of Londonderry.
Similarly, while his father was Earl of Shelbourne, he would have been referred to as "The Lord John Marbury" (if the Earldom of Shelbourne had no courtesy titles), or perhaps as Baron/Viscount Marbury (if those were courtesy titles of that earldom).
