Thomas Fonnereau
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Fonnereau (London, 27 October 1699 – 20 March 1779) was a British businessman and politician, the eldest son of the merchant Claude Fonnereau.
A London merchant, he was of Huguenot extraction.[1] Returned for Sudbury in 1741, he continued to sit for that constituency until 1768, several of those years in conjunction with Thomas Walpole, a business connection.[1] However, he retained interests in Suffolk and was a member of the Free British Fishery Society[2], and was MP for the constituency of Aldeburgh there at the end of his life.
