John Joicey

John Joicey, DL (3 November 1816 – 15 August 1881) was a British Liberal Party politician and wealthy coal owner.

He was the fourth son of George Joicey of Backworth, Northumberland and younger brother of James Joicey, founder of the coal mining company James Joicey & Co. He was the uncle of James Joicey, 1st Baron Joicey.

He served as High Sheriff of Durham in 1878 and was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for North Durham at the general election in April 1880, but died in office the following year, aged 64.^[1]

He lived at Urpeth Lodge and then Newton Hall, Stocksfield, Northumberland. His daughter and heir married John Packenham Cecil, thereby creating the Joicey-Cecil family.
