19 Adam Haldane-Duncan
Constituency : Southampton 1837-41, Bath 1841-52, Forfarshire 1854-9
Adam only just falls into our time frame. He was the grandson of naval hero Admiral Duncan, his father's title of Earl Camperdown commemorating the relevant battle. His switch from Southampton to Bath was voluntary but he lost in 1852 and returned to Parliament via a by-election two years later.
He served as a junior Lord of the Treasury throughout Palmerston's first government. His father died soon after his re-election in 1859 and he became the 2nd Earl Camperdown.
He died aged 54 in 1867.
