Charles Fyshe Palmer

Date of birth approximate. Married (25 November 1805), Lady Madelina Gordon, daughter of Alexander, 4th duke of Gordon, widow of Sir Robert Sinclair, 7th bt., of Stevenson, Haddington. '...as brother-in-law to three dukes and a marquess...he moved easily in high society'. (Fisher)

Included here because Judd lists him as a 'West Indian' MP but it is not obvious that he was. He was brother-in-law of William Montagu, 5th Duke of Manchester, Governor of Jamaica, 1808-1827 (q.v.) but he was an 'advanced' Whig and opponent of slavery.
