Henry Thomson (1840 – 30 December 1916) was an Irish Justice of the Peace and Conservative politician. From 1880 to 1885 he was a Member of Parliament, representing Newry in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, of which the whole of Ireland was then a part.〔Leigh Rayment's House of Commons pages, (Historical list of MPs: constituencies beginning with "N", part 2 ), at leighrayment.com〕 Born in 1840, Thomson was the second son of Henry Thomson of Newry, County Down, by his marriage to Anne, daughter of the Rev. William Henry, of Tassagh, County Armagh. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin. In 1866, he married Alice Cecilia, the youngest daughter of Henry Corbet-Singleton of Aclare, County Meath.〔'Thomson, Henry (born 1840, died 30 Dec. 1916) JP' in ''Who Was Who'' (A & C Black, 1920–2008) (online edition ) (subscription required) by Oxford University Press, 2007, accessed 9 April 2011〕 He was a significant supporter of hare-coursing, and from 1878 onwards kept his own pack of harriers, described in 1886 as "consisting of thirteen couples, average height seventeen inches", with kennels at Newry, but with a hunting country more in County Armagh than County Down. He was also for a time Master of the Newry Harriers, but by 1886 had been succeeded as Master by Thomas D'Arcy Hoey JP.〔George Henry Bassett, (County Down ) (from ''Bassett's County Down Guide and Directory, 1886'') at oracleireland.com, accessed 12 April 2011〕 In 1893, his name was published as one of the "six hundred gentlemen" of the new Ulster Defence Union.〔''Belfast Weekly News'' dated October 21, 1893, ''(Ulster Defence Union )'' online at failteromhat.com, accessed 12 April 2011〕 In London, Thomson was a member of the Carlton Club. At the time of his death on 30 December 1916, his address was given in ''Who's Who'' as Scarvagle House, Scarva, Co. Newry (''sic'').〔 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Thomson (Irish politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
