George Heneage

George Fieschi Heneage (22 November 1800 – 11 May 1864) was a British Whig politician. Background Heneage was the son of George Robert Heneage of Hainton Hall, Lincolnshire and Frances Anne, daughter of Lieutenant-General George Ainslie. His middle name derived from his descent from Roboaldo Fieschi, Conte di Lavagna. He was educated at Eton College (1817) and Trinity College, Cambridge (1818) and succeeded his father to the Hainton estate in 1833. Political career Heneage was elected at the 1826 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Great Grimsby, but when he stood for re-election in 1830 he was defeated by the Tory candidate George Harris. At the 1831 general election Heneage was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Lincoln. He was re-elected in 1832, but did not contest the seat at the 1835 general election.
