213 George Heneage
Constituency : Grimsby 1826-30 , Lincoln 1831-5, 1852-7 ( Conservative ), 1857-62
George was from a noble Lincolnshire family.
George was first elected in 1826 but defeated in 1830. He returned for Lincoln in the following election but stood down in 1835. He re-emerged in 1852 as a Conservative but switched back to Palmerston's Liberals for the 1857 election.
Following Lord Worsley's elevation in 1862 George decided to resign Lincoln and return to his old seat but he was narrowly defeated by 12 votes in the by-election and his petition was unsuccessful. The Conservatives also won the Lincoln by-election but George's son Edward won it back in 1865.
He died in 1864 aged 63.
