470 Henry Barron
Constituency : Waterford City 1832-41, 1842-7, 1848-52, 1865-8, 1869-70
Henry claimed the other Waterford City seat from the Tories.
Henry was one of the few remaining MPs born in the eighteenth century. He was educated at Trinity College and his long association with the constituency began in 1832. He first lost his seat in 1841 and was created a baronet in the following year. Both MPs were unseated on petition in 1842 and Henry returned until 1847. He came back at a by-election in 1848 but was out for thirteen years after 1852.
Henry lost again in 1868, came back at a by-election in 1869 and was finally ousted on petition in 1870.
He died in 1872 aged 76.
