Henry Samuelson
Sir Henry Bernhard Samuelson, 2nd Baronet (30 September 1845 – 14 March 1937)[1][2] was an English Liberal Party politician who sat in the House of Commons in two periods between 1868 and 1885.
Samuelson was the son of Sir Bernhard Samuelson, 1st Baronet and his wife Caroline Blundell, daughter of Henry Blundell of Hull. He was educated at Rugby School and Trinity College, Oxford. He was a captain in the Royal South Gloucester Militia and a J.P. for Somerset.[3]
At the 1868 general election Samuelson was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Cheltenham.[4] He held the seat until his defeat at the 1874 general election.[1][4] In November 1876 he was elected at a by-election as the MP for Frome,[5] and held that seat until the 1885 general election,[2] when he did not stand again.[6]
Samuelson succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father in 1905. He died at the age of 91.
Samuelson married Emily Maria Goodden, daughter of John Goodden of Compton House Dorset.
