Denzil Onslow (Conservative politician)

Denzil Roberts Onslow (15 June 1839 – 21 March 1908)[1] was an English Conservative Party politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1874 to 1885.

[3] He was re-elected in 1880,[6] but when the narrow-area parliamentary borough of Guildford was abolished in 1885 in favour of a county division of the same name, St John Brodrick won the nomination and he stood instead in the Poplar division of Tower Hamlets, where Henry Green (Lib) defeated him by a margin of almost two-to-one.

[8] In the England Wales 1881 Census, Denzil Onslow is listed as the Head of the household with the family living in Wanborough, Surrey.

Geraldine Onslow married Rev'd William McNeill Carleton and went as missionaries to South Africa before the 1901 Census took place.

Onslow's grandson, Denzil Onslow-Carleton, flew in the Royal Flying Corp during World War I[9] and later went on to play rugby for Natal.
