Algernon Tollemache

Algernon Gray Tollemache (24 September 1805 – 17 January 1892, London) was a British gentleman and politician. He was the sixth son of William Tollemache, Lord Huntingtower and Catherine Gray.

He was Member of Parliament for Grantham from 1832 to 1837. In 1849, he moved to Wellington, New Zealand, where he lived until 1855, amassing an immense fortune in land speculation.

On 28 September 1857, he married his first cousin Frances Louisa Tollemache (d. 1893), but the couple had no children. He left his fortune to his niece Ada, Lady Sudeley (daughter of his brother Frederick James Tollemache).
