Edward Owner
Edward Owner (1576–1650) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1621 and 1648. He supported the Parliamentary cause in the English Civil War.
In 1621, Owner was elected Member of Parliament for Great Yarmouth. He was alderman and bailiff of Yarmouth in 1625〔(British Farthings - 17th Century Tokens - Yarmouth )〕 and was also re-elected MP for the town in the same year.〔 He was bailiff again in 1634 when he was the cause of offence. The bailiffs of the Cinque Ports were accustomed to attend the fair at Yarmouth but in this year Owner refused them their usual seat. They petitioned the Earl of Arundel who settled the matter but recommended "a more courteous carriage,and friendly demeanor, in future." 〔( Great Yarmouth: free-fair', An Essay towards a Topographical History of the County of Norfolk: volume 11 (1810), pp. 345-351.Date accessed: 23 June 2011 )〕
Owner became Recorder of Yarmouth. In April 1640, he was re-elected MP for Yarmouth in the Short Parliament and was re-elected for the Long Parliament in November 1640.〔 He opposed Ship Money in parliament and voted it illegal. When the Civil War broke out, he worked to ensure that the town's defences were satisfactory and contributed financially to this purpose. In 1646 he was elected Mayor of Yarmouth.〔(Francis Blomefield, Charles Parkin ''An essay towards a topographical history of the county of Norfolk'' )〕 He is not recorded as sitting in parliament after Pride's Purge. He made charitable donations to the town of Yarmouth and left property in Ireland to the benefit of the council for the Children's Hospital School .〔(John Preston ''The picture of Yarmouth'' )〕
Owner died in 1650, and was buried in the north aisle of St Nicholas' Church.
