George William John Repton (1818 – 30 August 1906)[1] was a British Conservative Party politician[2] who held a seat in the House of Commons for most of the period from 1841 to 1885, first as a Member of Parliament (MP) for St Albans[3] and then for Warwick.[1]

Family

Repton was the son of George Stanley Repton and his wife Lady Elizabeth, daughter of John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon.[2]

He was educated at University College, Oxford,[4] and on 5 September 1848 he married Lady Jane Seymour FitzGerald, the only daughter of the Augustus FitzGerald, 3rd Duke of Leinster, who died on 3 November 1898.[2]

His address was listed in 1881 as Odell Castle, Bedford.[2]

Career

Repton was elected at the 1841 general election as an MP for the borough of St Albans in Hertfordshire,[5][6] where he was re-elected in 1847.[6][7] However, a Royal Commission found evidence extensive bribery in elections at the borough, which was disenfranchised in 1852.[6]

He was returned at the 1852 general election as an MP for the borough of Warwick,[8][9] where he was re-elected in 1857, 1859, and 1865, but did not stand in 1868.[9] He was again returned to the Commons from Warwick at the 1874 general election,[10] re-elected in 1880,[11] and retired from Parliament when the parliamentary borough of Warwick was abolished at the 1885 general election.[9]
