Sir David Roche, 1st Baronet
Sir David Vandeleur Roche, 1st Baronet (19 January 1791 – 8 April 1865) was the second member for the UK Parliament for the Limerick City constituency from 1832 until 1838.[1] He was first elected as a candidate for the Repeal Association.[n 1] Roche was re-elected in 1835 and 1837 as a candidate of a Liberal/Repealer pact.
The Roche Baronetcy, of Carass in Limerick, was created for him in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 8 August 1838.[1]
Notes
- ↑ "In fact there were 2,868 registered electors at the general election in December 1832, when, at O’Connell’s instigation, William Roche, by now a highly respected Catholic agitator, and his cousin David Roche were returned as Repealers after a contest."[2]
