From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry White, 1st Baron Annaly (1791-3 September 1873), was an Irish British Army soldier and politician.
Annaly was the son of Luke White, who had made a large fortune as a bookseller and lottery operator in Dublin. His mother was Elizabeth, daughter of Peter de la Mazière.
He purchased a Cornetcy in the 14th Light Dragoons in 1811 and served in the Peninsular War, fighting at the Siege of Badajoz and at the Battle of Salamanca. He purchased a Lieutenantcy in 1812. In 1823 he was elected to the House of Commons for County Dublin, a seat he held until 1832, and also represented County Longford from 1837 to 1847 and again from 1857 to 1861. Between 1841 and 1873 Annaly served as Lord Lieutenant of County Longford. In 1863 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Annaly, of Annaly and Rathcline in the County of Longford.
Lord Annaly married Ellen, daughter of William Soper Dempster, in 1828. They had one son and one daughter. Ellen died in 1868. Lord Annaly survived her by five years and died in September 1873. He was succeeded in the barony by his only son Luke.
