John E. Gordon .
John Edward Gordon (5 February 1850 – 19 February 1915)[1] [2] was a British Conservative Party politician.[3]
The eldest son of Edward Gordon, Baron Gordon of Drumearn , a senior Scottish judge and Conservative politician, he was educated at Edinburgh Academy and the University of Edinburgh .[3] In 1879, he married Elizabeth Anna Gordon (1851–1925),[4] the daughter of John Snowdon Henry , a former member of parliament for South East Lancashire .[3] The couple had five children.[5]
He was elected at the 1895 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP ) for Elginshire and Nairnshire , defeating the Liberal MP John Keay .[6] He was re-elected in 1900 , but did not defend the seat again.[6]
At the 1906 general election , he stood in the two-seat Brighton constituency having moved to Hove on the south coast of England which then formed part of the same seat.[5] [7] He came fourth, albeit in a close contest, and did not stand again until the Brighton by-election in June 1911 . He was returned unopposed to fill the vacancy caused when the sitting MP Walter Rice was elevated to the peerage on inheriting the title of Baron Dynevor .[5] [7] [8] [9] However, he resigned the seat three years later due to ill health, on 23 June 1914, by accepting the post of Steward of the Manor of Northstead .[10] [11]
He died in a nursing home in Bromley , Kent , in February 1915 aged 65.[12] In 1907, his wife moved to Japan and is buried on Mount Koya .
