William Welby-Gregory
Sir William Earle Welby-Gregory, 4th Baronet (4 January 1829 – 26 November 1898)[1] was a British Conservative Party politician.
In 1863, William married Victoria Stuart-Wortley, by who he had three children.
He was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Grantham at the 1857 general election,[2] and held the seat until he resigned on 14 April 1868 (by taking the post of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds)[3] in order to contest a by-election for South Lincolnshire.[2] He was elected unopposed South Lincolnshire on 29 April, and held the seat until he resigned again on 20 February 1884, this time by becoming Steward of the Manor of Northstead.[3]
