Henry William Hobhouse (8 August 1791 – 22 May 1868)[1] was a British Whig politician.[2] [3] [4]
Hobhouse was the son of Benjamin Hobhouse and Charlottee née Cam, daughter of Samuel Cam; and he was also a brother of John Hobhouse, 1st Baron Broughton. In 1814, he married Mary Anne Palmer, daughter of John Palmer, and they had at least two children: John Byron Hobhouse (1817–1842); and Sir Charles Parry Hobhouse, 3rd Baronet (1825–1916).[5]
After unsuccessfully contesting in 1835,[6] Hobhouse was elected a Whig Member of Parliament for Hereford at the general election in May 1841 but resigned five months later by accepting the office of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds.[7] [4] [8]
He was also in the Honourable East India Company Service.[5]
