From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British general election, 1747 returned members to serve in the House of Commons of the 10th Parliament of Great Britain to be held, after the merger of the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland in 1707.
[edit] Summary of the Constituencies
See British general election, 1796 for details. The constituencies used were the same throughout the existence of the Parliament of Great Britain.
[edit] Dates of Election
The general election was held between 26 June 1747 and 4 August 1747.
At this period elections did not take place at the same time in every constituency. The returning officer in each county or parliamentary borough fixed the precise date (see hustings for details of the conduct of the elections).
