John Vaughan, 3rd Earl Of Lisburne
John Vaughan, 3rd Earl of Lisburne (3 May 1769 – 18 May 1831), known as the Honourable John Vaughan until 1820, was a British soldier and Member of Parliament for Cardigan Boroughs. Lisburne was the younger son of Wilmot Vaughan, 1st Earl of Lisburne. He served in the Army, transferring from the 87th Foot to the 58th Foot as a captain in 1795, and being promoted to major the next month and lieutenant-colonel later the same year. He eventually achieved the rank of colonel. Political career In 1795, he sought election to the House of Commons for Berwick but withdrew when he faced a contest that the family could not afford. In the following year, Vaughan's father gave up the Cardiganshire county seat to Thomas Johnes, who had been his ally in county politics since 1774. As part of this arrangement, Vaughan was elected unopposed for the Cardigan Boroughs constituency. In 1812, he was opposed by Herbert Evans of Higmead, who was supported by several landed families.

Member Of Parliament (United Kingdom)
In the United Kingdom, a member of Parliament (MP) is an individual elected to serve in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Electoral system All 650 members of the UK House of Commons are elected using the first-past-the-post voting system in single member constituencies across the whole of the United Kingdom, where each constituency has its own single representative. Elections All MP positions become simultaneously vacant for elections held on a five-year cycle, or when a snap election is called. The Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 set out that ordinary general elections are held on the first Thursday in May, every five years. The Act was repealed in 2022. With approval from Parliament, both the 2017 and 2019 general elections were held earlier than the schedule set by the Act. If a vacancy arises at another time, due to death or resignation, then a constituency vacancy may be filled by a by-election. Under the Representation of the People Act 198 ...

Ernest Vaughan, 4th Earl Of Lisburne
Ernest Augustus Vaughan, 4th Earl of Lisburne (30 October 1800 – 8 November 1873), styled Viscount Vaughan from 1820 to 1831, was a prominent landowner in Cardiganshire, Wales, who served from 1854 until 1859 as a Conservative member of the British House of Commons. Early life Lisburne was the son of John Vaughan, 3rd Earl of Lisburne, whom he succeeded on 18 May 1831, by his spouse the Hon. Lucy (d. 1821), fifth daughter of William, 2nd Viscount Courtenay. As this was an Irish peerage after 1801 it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords unless elected as a Representative Peer. He did however have the right, confirmed in August 1831, to vote for the representative peers from Ireland. Family The Earl of Lisburne married firstly, on 27 August 1835, Mary (d. 1851), second daughter of Sir Laurence Palk, Bt., by his spouse Lady Elizabeth Vaughan. There were four children from the marriage, namely: * Ernest Augustus Malet Vaughan, 5th Earl of Lisburne (b. 1836) who e ...

Wilmot Vaughan, 2nd Earl Of Lisburne
Wilmot Vaughan, 2nd Earl of Lisburne (9 May 1755 – 6 May 1820), styled Hon. Wilmot Vaughan from 1766 to 1776 and Viscount Vaughan from 1776 to 1800, was a Welsh landowner and Irish peer. He was the son of Wilmot Vaughan, 4th Viscount Lisburne, later Earl of Lisburne, and his first wife Elizabeth Nightingale, who died of complications from his birth. He was educated at Eton College, and on 4 January 1773, he matriculated at Magdalen College, Oxford. He was Major-Commandant of the Cardigan Militia 1778–80.

He spent most of his life at Shillingthorpe Hall, a private asylum in Lincolnshire, where he died unmarried on 6 May 1820.

Earl Of Lisburne
Earl of Lisburne is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1776 for Wilmot Vaughan, 4th Viscount Lisburne. He represented Cardiganshire and Berwick-upon-Tweed in the House of Commons and held minor governmental office. Not satisfied with the Irish title, Lisburne attempted to cajole his way into a title in the Peerage of Great Britain through his support of the Prime Minister the Duke of Portland. He quite unsuccessfully suggested in a letter that he would withdraw his support if he did not receive a peerage; Lisburne was horrified when his threat reached the ears of the king. "... his Majesty observed upon it that he could not have supposed that Lord Lisburne would have imagined that he was to be frightened into giving peerages—the moment was not open for explanation—your opinion, the declaration of your intentions, was in writing." His younger son, the third Earl, sat as Member of Parliament for Cardigan. He was succeeded by his son, the fourth Earl. He also ...

1818 United Kingdom General Election
The 1818 United Kingdom general election saw the Whigs gain a few seats, but the Tories under the Earl of Liverpool retained a majority of around 90 seats. The Whigs were divided over their response to growing social unrest and the introduction of the Corn Laws. The result of the election was known on 4 August 1818. The fifth United Kingdom Parliament was dissolved on 10 June 1818. The new Parliament was summoned to meet on 4 August 1818, for a maximum seven-year term from that date. The maximum term could be and normally was curtailed, by the monarch dissolving the Parliament, before its term expired. The sixth Parliament lasted only about a year and a half, as King George III's death on 29 January 1820 triggered a dissolution of Parliament. Political situation The Tory leader was the Earl of Liverpool, who had been Prime Minister since his predecessor's assassination in 1812. The Tory Leader of the House of Commons was Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh. The Whig Party ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
