John Towneley (16 February 1806 – 21 February 1878) was an English Whig politician. He was elected at the 1841 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Beverley, and held the seat until he did not stand at the 1852 general election.〔 == Personal life == A son of Peregrine Edward Towneley of Towneley Hall and Charlotte Drummond. He married Lucy Tichborne, the daughter of Henry Joseph Tichborne, (the 8th Baronet) and Anne Burke on 28 October 1840.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Person Page - 7599 )〕 He inherited the Towneley estates, including the Lordship of Bowland, upon the death of his brother Colonel Charles Towneley in 1876. As John's only son Richard died before he did, it became necessary to divide the estate between the seven daughters of the two men, requiring a private Act of Parliament.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tracing the Towneleys 2004 )〕 Like his brother, he also served in the 5th Royal Lancashire Militia, being promoted to Lt. Colonel in 1863.〔(London Gazette ) Accessed 2011〕 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「John Towneley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
