Henry Hanbury-Tracy

The Honourable Henry Hanbury-Tracy (11 April 1802 – 6 April 1889)[1] was a British Whig politician. He sat in the House of Commons from 1837 to 1838.[1]

Hanbury-Tracy was born at Toddington, Gloucestershire, a younger son of Charles Hanbury-Tracy, 1st Baron Sudeley, by the Honourable Henrietta Susanna, only child and heiress of Henry Tracy, 8th Viscount Tracy. Thomas Hanbury-Tracy, 2nd Baron Sudeley, was his elder brother.[2]

He was elected at the 1837 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Bridgnorth,[3] but resigned from Parliament the following year by becoming Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds[3]

Hanbury-Tracy married Rosamond Ann Myrtle, daughter of Robert William Shirley, Viscount Tamworth, in 1841.[2] On 2 September 1852, he was appointed a deputy lieutenant of Montgomeryshire by his brother,[4] and was promoted by him to major of the Montgomeryshire Militia on 3 September.[5] Hanbury-Tracy was appointed lieutenant-colonel commandant of that regiment on 1 May 1854, succeeding Sir John Conroy, 1st Baronet.[6] However, he resigned his militia commission on 25 June 1855.[7] He died in April 1889 at age 86.[1]
