John Charles Ramsden (30 April 1788 – 29 December 1836)[1][2] was a British Whig[3] and Liberal Party[4] politician from Newby Park in Yorkshire.[5] He sat in the House of Commons between 1812 and 1836.

Family

He was a younger son of Sir John Ramsden, 4th Baronet (1755–1839), the Member of Parliament (MP) for Grampound, and his wife Hon. Louisa Susan Ingram-Shepheard (c.1766–1857), daughter of the 9th Viscount of Irvine.[6] On 4 May 1814 he married Isabella Dundas (1790–1887), daughter of Thomas Dundas, 1st Baron Dundas of Aske and Lady Charlotte FitzWilliam.[7] Isabella's maternal grandfather was William Fitzwilliam, 3rd Earl Fitzwilliam,[8] and her uncle was William Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam, a leading Whig politician and one of the richest people in Britain.

Politics

At the 1812 general election, Ramsden was elected as one of the two MPs for borough of Malton.[3][9] He was re-elected at the next four general elections,[10][11] [12][13] and held the seat until 1831.[2] At the 1831 general election he was elected as one of the four MPs for the Yorkshire county constituency.[5][14] He was appointed as a Deputy Lieutenant of Yorkshire in May 1831,[15] and held his seat in Parliament until the constituency was divided by the Reform Act 1832,[1] and at the general election in December 1832 he unsuccessfully contested the new North Riding of Yorkshire constituency.[4]

He was returned to the Commons three months later, when he was elected without a contest[16] as MP for the Malton,[17] at a by-election after the sitting Liberal MP Viscount Milton resigned to contest a vacancy in the Northern division of Northamptonshire.[16] He was re-elected unopposed in 1835,[18] and held the seat until his death in 1836, aged 48.[2]
