Edward Fellowes, 1st Baron de Ramsey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Fellowes, 1st Baron de Ramsey (14 May 1809-9 August 1887), was a British Conservative Member of Parliament.
De Ramsey was the son of William Henry Fellowes, of Ramsey Abbey in Huntingdonshire, and Emma Benyon. He was elected to the House of Commons for Huntingdonshire in 1837, a seat he held for 43 years, until 1880. In July 1887, only a month before his death, he was raised to the peerage as Baron de Ramsey, of Ramsey Abbey in the County of Huntingdon.
Lord de Ramsey married Hon. Mary Julia Milles, daughter of George John Milles, 4th Baron Sondes, in 1845. He died in August 1887, aged 78, and was succeeded in the barony by his eldest son William Henry Fellowes. His younger son Ailwyn Fellowes was also a Conservative politician and was elevated to the peerage as Baron Ailwyn in 1921.
