Coventry (UK Parliament Constituency)
Coventry was a borough constituency which was represented in the House of Commons of England and its successors, the House of Commons of Great Britain and the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. Centred on the City of Coventry in Warwickshire, it returned two Members of Parliament (MPs) from 1295 until the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, when its representation was reduced to one. The Coventry constituency was abolished for the 1945 general election, when it was split into two new constituencies: Coventry East and Coventry West. Elections were held using the bloc vote system when electing two MPs (until 1885), and then first-past-the-post to elect one MP thereafter. Boundaries From 1885 to 1918 the constituency consisted of the city of Coventry and the parish of Stoke.Debrett's House of Commons & Judicial Bench, 1886 From 1918 until the constituency disappeared in 1945, it consisted of the County Borough of Coventry.

John Rogerson (1648–1724)
Sir John Rogerson (1648–1724) was an Irish politician, wealthy merchant and property developer. Very little is known about his family background or his early life, except that he was born in the Netherlands in 1648, and that his father was named Francis. The Rogerson family were probably recent arrivals in Ireland, and may have been political exiles from the political troubles of the 1640s. He lived in London in the late 1660s. He is recorded as a householder of Dublin from 1674, by which time he was already in business as a merchant. How precisely he made his money is not clear, but there is no doubt that he became a very rich man, with a reputation for being "hard-nosed" in his business dealings. The wealthy and well-connected Susan, Lady Belasyse, who had lent him substantial sums of money, found that he simply refused to repay them, and a lawsuit over the money dragged on until her death. He was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1693–94 and represented Clogher in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John Rogerson (1676–1741)
John Rogerson (1676–1741) was an Irish politician, lawyer, and judge who became Solicitor-General, Attorney-General for Ireland, and Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench in Ireland. He was educated at Trinity College Dublin, and graduated in 1694. He may briefly have considered joining his father in his business as a merchant, but quickly resolved on a legal career instead. He entered Middle Temple in 1690 and was called to the Irish Bar in 1701. Rogerson was Member of Parliament for Granard and Dublin City. He was a staunch supporter of the House of Hanover, despite marrying into the Ludlow family, many of whom, including his own wife Elizabeth, were described as "ferocious Tories". He was appointed as Solicitor-General in 1714. He became Attorney-General for Ireland in 1720 and Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench in 1727. The last promotion was much against the wishes of the influential Archbishop of Armagh, Hugh Boulter, who interfered regularly in judicial appointment ...

John Rogerson (Barnard Castle MP)
John Edwin Rogerson (8 January 1865 – 23 March 1925) was a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom. He was appointed a deputy lieutenant of County Durham in 1905. He contested the 1918 general election in the Labour-held Barnard Castle constituency in County Durham. He stood as a Coalition Conservative, but in a three-way contest his "coalition coupon" was insufficient to take the seat from the Labour Party candidate John Swan. Rogerson stood again at the 1922 election, when he was helped by the absence of a Liberal Party candidate, and gained the seat with a narrow majority over Swan. Rogerson's tenure as Member of Parliament (MP) for Barnard Castle was short-lived. At the 1923 election, Moss Turner-Samuels retook the seat for Labour with a majority of over 10%. After his defeat, Rogerson did not stand for Parliament In modern politics, and history, a parliament is a legislative body of government. Generally, a modern parliament has three function ...
