Sir Edward Dering, 3rd Baronet
Sir Edward Dering, 3rd Baronet (18 April 1650 – 15 October 1689) was an English Member of Parliament and baronet.
He was the eldest son of Sir Edward Dering, 2nd Baronet of Surrenden Dering in Pluckley, Kent and his wife Mary Harvey, a composer and niece of Dr. William Harvey.
Like his father and grandfather before him, Dering served as an MP for the County of Kent; he sat in the last three parliaments of Charles II, between 1678/9 and 1681 (the Oxford Parliament). His father was still living, and MP for Hythe at the time, so the son was returned as Edward Dering Esq.[1]
On the death of his father in 1684, Dering succeeded to the baronetcy; but died only five years later, aged 39. He had married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Cholmeley, 2nd Baronet of Whitby, by his second wife Elizabeth, daughter of John Savile of Methley, both in Yorkshire; she was coheiress to her brother Sir Hugh Cholmeley, 3rd Baronet, who had died as a child. The given name Cholmeley was often used in the Dering family from this point, the first being their son Sir Cholmeley Dering, 4th Baronet. Lady Dering died 20 October 1704; both she and her husband were buried at Pluckley.[2]
