Ellis Hume-Williams
Sir Ellis William Hume-Williams, 1st Baronet KBE, PC, KC (19 August 1863 – 4 February 1947) was a British barrister and Conservative Party politician.
Hume-Williams was a King's Counsel (KC), and in October 1901 was appointed Recorder of the Borough of Bury St Edmunds.[1]
At the January 1910 general election, Hume-Williams was elected as Member of Parliament for the Bassetlaw constituency in Nottinghamshire. He was created a baronet, of Ewhurst, in the County of Surrey, in 1922.[2] He lost his seat at the 1929 general election to Malcolm Macdonald (son of the Labour Party leader Ramsay Macdonald), and did not stand for Parliament again. He was made appointed as a Privy Counsellor in July 1929, shortly after his electoral defeat.
