Biography

edit

A member of the Stuart family, headed by the Marquess of Bute, he was the son of Sir William Stuart and his wife, Henrietta Mariah Sarah, daughter of Admiral Sir Charles Pole. He was returned to Parliament for Bedford in 1854, a seat he held until 1857 and again from 1859 to 1868. Apart from his political career, Stuart was also a Justice of the Peace for Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire and Bedfordshire, a Deputy Lieutenant of Bedfordshire and High Sheriff of Bedfordshire in 1875. He resided at Tempsford Hall, Bedfordshire, and Aldenham Abbey, Hertfordshire.

In 1859, Stuart married Katherine, daughter of John Armytage Nicholson. They had several children. She died in October 1881. Stuart survived her by twelve years, passing away in December 1893, aged 68.
