Guildford Onslow
Guildford James Hillier Mainwaring-Ellerker-Onslow (29 March 1814 – 20 August 1882)[1] was an English Liberal Party politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1858 to 1874.
Onslow was the son of Colonel the Hon. Thomas Cranley Onslow and his wife Susannah Elizabeth Hillier, daughter of Nathaniel Hillier of Stoke Park Surrey. He was educated at Eton College and joined the Scots Fusilier Guards. He reached the rank of captain and also served in the 11th Regiment. He was a Deputy Lieutenant and J.P. for Lincolnshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire.[2]
In October 1858, Onslow was elected at a by-election as one of the two Members of Parliament (MP) for Guildford in Surrey.[3] He was returned at the next three general elections, holding the seat when Guildford's parliamentary representation was reduced to one seat at the 1868 general election, but at the 1874 general election he lost the seat to the Conservative Party candidate Denzil Roberts Onslow.[3]
In 1861 he assumed by Royal Licence the additional surnames of Mainwaring and Ellerker.[4]
Onslow died at the age of 68.
Onslow married Rosa Anne Onslow, daughter of General Denzil Onslow of Staughton House, Huntingdonshire.
