William Stephen Poyntz (20 January 1770 – 8 April 1840) was an English Whig and Liberal politician who sat in the House of Commons variously between 1800 and 1837. Poyntz was the son of William Poyntz (d.1809) by his wife Isabella (d.1805), daughter and co-heir of Kelland Courtenay. He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=William Stephen Poyntz )〕 In June 1800, Poyntz was elected at a by-election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for St Albans and held the seat until the 1807 general election. He was next elected as MP for Callington at a by-election in April 1810, and held the seat until the 1818 general election.〔Stooks Smith, page 481〕 In February 1823 he was elected at a by-election as MP for Chichester, and held the seat until the 1830 general election.〔Stooks Smith, pages 335-336〕 In March 1831 Poyntz was elected at a by-election as MP for Ashburton, where he was re-elected in May 1831 and held the seat until the 1835 general election,〔Stooks Smith, page 64〕 when he was elected MP for Midhurst.〔Stooks Smith, pages 345-346〕 He was re-elected in 1837, and held the seat until his resignation later in 1837 by taking the Chiltern Hundreds. Poyntz died at the age of 70. Poyntz married (1 September 1794) Hon. Elizabeth Mary Browne, daughter of Anthony Browne, 7th Viscount Montagu, and sister and heir of her brother the 8th Viscount. They lived at Midgham House in Berkshire and at Cowdray Park in West Sussex. Both their sons both drowned at Bognor Regis on 7 July 1815. Only two of their daughters had issue; Elizabeth Georgina who married Frederick Spencer, 4th Earl Spencer and Isabella who married Brownlow Cecil, 2nd Marquess of Exeter.
