Edward Matthew Fenwick (1812 – 16 October 1877),[1][2] also known as Edward Matthew Reid, was a British Liberal Party politician.
Fenwick was the second son of Edward James and Caroline (née Cuddon) Reid.
At some point he changed his name by Royal Licence from Reid to Fenwick.
[3][2][4][5] Fenwick was elected Liberal MP for Lancaster at a by-election in 1864—caused by the resignation of William Garnett—and held the seat until 1866 when he was unseated for corruption.
[6][2][3] Fenwick was also a Justice of the Peace for Lancashire, Yorkshire and Westmorland, and, in 1865, Deputy Lieutenant for Lancaster.
