Charles Joseph Theophilus Hambro (2 October 1834 – 11 April 1891)[1] was a British Conservative Party politician.
Hambro was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. He held the office of Deputy Lieutenant (D.L.) of Dorset. He held the office of Justice of the Peace (J.P.) for Dorset.[2] He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Weymouth and Melcombe Regis at the 1868 general election, but lost the seat at the 1874 general election.[3] He gained the rank of Colonel in the service of the Dorset Yeomanry Cavalry. He held the office of High Sheriff of Dorset in 1882.[2] Hanbro did not stand for Parliament again until 1885, when he narrowly failed to win the newly-created Southern division of Dorset (his Liberal opponent had a majority of only 0.6% of the votes).[4] However he won the seat at the 1886 general election, and held it until his death in 1891.[4] He lived at Milton Abbey, Dorset, England. He had two daughters.[2]
