Duncombe Pleydell-Bouverie
Admiral The Honourable Duncombe Pleydell-Bouverie (28 June 1780 – 5 November 1850), was a British naval commander and Whig politician.
Pleydell-Bouverie was the second son of Jacob Pleydell-Bouverie, 2nd Earl of Radnor, and the Honourable Anne Duncombe, daughter of Anthony Duncombe, 1st Baron Feversham. William Pleydell-Bouverie, 3rd Earl of Radnor, was his elder brother.[1]
Pleydell-Bouverie served in the Royal Navy. Lieutenant Pleydell-Bouverie was promoted to Commander on 14 February 1801, but did not take command of HMS Penguin until 28 August.[2] Bouverie was promoted to post captain in HMS Braave on 2 April 1802.[2] Eventually he became an Admiral.[1]
He also sat as Member of Parliament for Downton between 1806 and 1807[3] and for Salisbury between 1828 and 1832 and again from 1833 to 1835.[4] He is not recorded as having ever spoken in the House of Commons.[5] He hoisted his flag in HMS Victory as Port Admiral at Portsmouth in 1837.
Pleydell-Bouverie married Louisa, daughter of Joseph May, in 1809. He died in November 1850, aged 70.[1]
