		John Dunn Gardner, MP for Bodmin 1841-1847
		George Ferrars Townshend, 3rd Marquess Townshend, married, on 12 May 1807, Sarah
		Gardner. A year later, on 8 May 1808, she left the Marquess and filed for divorce on the
		grounds of non-consummation of the marriage. Shortly afterwards, Sarah eloped with John
		Margetts and went through a form of marriage with Margetts on 24 October 1809. From
		this union a number of children were born, including the eldest surviving son, John Dunn
		Gardner, then known as John Margetts, who was born in July 1811.
		In 1823, when John was 12 years old, he and the rest of his siblings were re-baptised in the
		name of Townshend and thereafter John was known initially as Lord John Townshend, and
		later styled himself Earl of Leicester, being the courtesy title used by the Marquesses
		Townshend.
		It was under the style of Earl of Leicester that Gardner was elected as MP for Bodmin in
		1841. In March 1843, Lord Brougham tabled in the House of Lords a petition from the 3rd
		Marquess Townshend and Lord Charles Townshend (the 3rd Marquess' younger brother
		and heir presumptive at the time). In the words of contemporary newspaper reports
		'[Lord Brougham] proceeded to state that, in the year 1808, Sarah Gardner, Marchioness
		Townshend, quitted her husband's house in Gloucester Place without her husband's
		knowledge or consent, and afterwards went and lived with a respectable yeoman, a brewer
		of the name of John Margetts…….[Their son] John Margetts assumed the title of the Earl
		of Leicester, alleging himself to be the son and heir apparent of the first petitioner, and as
		such was elected to serve as a burgess in Parliament for the borough of Bodmin in the
		county of Cornwall, and was styled in the return to the writ, "The Honourable John
		Townshend, commonly called the Earl of Leicester." [Lord Brougham] called upon their
		lordships to institute an enquiry with a view to protect not only the petitioners but their
		lordships from the effects of so gross a fraud.'
		The petition was debated at great length in the House of Lords in May 1843 and in the
		Commons in June. Eventually, John (and his siblings) were declared to be illegitimate by
		an Act of Parliament whose full title was "An Act to declare that certain persons therein
		mentioned are not children of the Most Honourable George Ferrars, Marquis Townshend."
		The operative clause of the Act declared that "the said several children of the said Sarah
		Gardner, Marchioness Townshend, hereinbefore respectively mentioned, are not nor were,
		nor shall they or any of them , be taken to be or deemed the lawful issue of the said George
		Ferrars, Marquis Townshend." The Act received royal assent on 12 July 1843, after which
		John assumed his mother's maiden name, being known thereafter as John Dunn Gardner.
		Herbert Ingram, MP for Boston 1856-1860
		In 1842, together with his friend Mark Lemon, the editor of Punch, Ingram founded the
		Illustrated London News, one of the most successful magazines of its time. Published
		weekly, it survived in that format until 1971. At its height, the magazine sold 300,000
		copies per week, at a period when major newspapers such as The Times had a daily sale
		of around 70,000.
		Ingram was elected to the House of Commons for Boston in 1856. On 8 September 1860, he
		and his son were aboard the paddle-steamer Lady Elgin which had left Chicago on a voyage
		to Milwaukee when the Lady Elgin collided with the schooner Augusta. Although the Lady
		Elgin was brightly lit, the Augusta was apparently sailing without lights and had failed to give
		way to the Lady Elgin as is dictated by the usual rule of sailing.
		The following statement, made by the Clerk of the Lady Elgin, was published in the 'New
		York Herald' and reprinted in 'The Times' of 25 September 1860:-
		'The steamer Lady Elgin left the harbour of Chicago at half-past 11 o'clock on Friday
		evening last for a pleasure excursion to Lake Superior……About half-past 2 o'clock this
		(Saturday) morning the schooner Augusta, of Oswego, collided with the steamer when she
		was about 25 miles from Chicago and 10 miles from land. The collision took place at the
		midships gangway and on the larboard [port or left] side of the steamer. The two vessels
		separated immediately afterwards, and the schooner, having her sails set and the wind
		blowing freshly, drifted from the steamer very soon. When the collision occurted there
		were music and dancing going forward in the principal cabin. Immediately after the crash
		of collision both ceased, and the steamer sank half an hour later. Passing through the cabin
		I saw the ladies pale, motionless and silent. There was no cry, no shriek on board, no
		sound of any kind but that of escaping steam and surging waves. Whether the ladies were
		silent from fear, or were nhot aware of the imminent fate which they stood quietly awaiting,
		I could not say. A boat was lowered for the purpose of examining the leak, which soon made
		itself known; but there were only two oars to row it with, and unfortunately at that moment
		someone had taken possession of one of them, and the boat was consequently useless. We
		succeeded in reaching the larboard wheel once, wherin the leak was, but were soon driven
		from it by the fury of the waves, and washed ashore at the village of Winetka. There were
		only two other boats on the steamer. One of these took 13 persons from her, all of whom
		were saved. The other boat took eight persons, but only half that number reached land
		alive, the other four being drowned on the beach when the boat drifted there. The rush of
		water through the leak had extinguished the fires before I left the steamer, and the engines
		had ceased working in consequence. The wind was blowing so hard and in such a direction
		as to drift the boats, bodies of the drowned, and fragments of the wreck up the lake, and
		miost of them will probably be washed ashore in the vicinity of Winetka.'
		Estimates of the death toll in the sinking of the Lady Elgin vary around the 400 mark,
		including Herbert Ingram and his son, thus making this disaster the worst ever recorded on
		the waters of the Great Lakes.
		After his death, the Illustrated London News passed into the control of his son, William
		James Ingram, who also represented Boston between 1885 and 1886 and again between
		1892 and 1895.
		Sir William Edge, MP for Bosworth 1927-1945
		Sir William narrowly failed to win a bet on 28 June 1930, according to the following report
		from 'The Times' of 1 July 1930:-
		'Sir William Edge, Liberal M.P. for Bosworth, just failed to reach the mining town of Ibstock,
		in Leicestershire, on Saturday before a number of pigeons which he had raced from London.
		He was recently challenged by a member of the Ibstock Homing Society, and it was
		arranged that the pigeons should be liberated from the Palace Yard, Westminster, and that
		Sir William Edge should dash by motor-car and train in an endeavour to reach the town
		before the birds. The birds, which numbered 130, were released about noon. As soon as
		the last one had left Sir William Edge jumped into a taxicab and drove to St. Pancras. He
		had 20 minutes in which to catch his train. Owing to a mishap on the line between Kettering
		and Bedford, the train arrived at Leicester 26 minutes late. He drove by car to Ibstock,
		arriving two minutes after the first pigeon.'
