Sir George Nugent-Grenville 2nd Baron Nugent of Carlanstown

A younger son of George Nugent-Temple, 1st Marquess of Buckingham and Lady Mary Elizabeth Nugent, only daughter and heiress of Robert Nugent, 1st Earl Nugent. His mother was the half-sister of Sir George Nugent (1757-1849), Governor of Jamaica.

Included here because Judd lists him as a 'West Indian' MP. However, he was a radical Whig and, among other things, was a strong opponent of slavery. For example, in January 1826 he chaired an anti-slavery meeting in Buckingham and became President of the local Anti-Slavery Society.

Although his brother owned enslaved people, it is not obvious why Judd lists him as a West Indian MP.
