George Harrison (Hertford MP)

George Harrison (10 February 1680 – 1759), of Balls Park, near Hertford, was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons for 25 years between 1727 and 1759.

He was educated at Charterhouse School from 1695 to 1697[1] and matriculated at Wadham College, Oxford on 3 July 1697, aged 17.

He succeeded to the estates of his brother in 1732 and did not stand at the 1734 general election.

He was returned for Hertford without a contest at the general elections of 1741, 1747 and 1754, voting with the Administration in every recorded division.

He drew a secret service pension of £500 in 1753 and 1754, but was a wealthy man and does not appear to have drawn them subsequently.
