Henry John Adeane DL (18 June 1789 – 11 May 1847) was an English barrister and politician.
[1] Adeane was the second but first surviving son of Robert Jones Adeane of Babraham, Cambridgeshire, and Annabella Blake, daughter of Sir Patrick Blake, 1st Baronet, of Langham Hall, Suffolk.
Although the Adeane family's alleged descent from the ancient noble Deyne or Dene family, of Wallingford, was included in their entry in Burke's Peerage, this was later omitted, as part of the company's endeavour to shed a reputation for inclusion of "apocryphal" family traditions, which were "expunged, erroneous particulars and incorrect descents discovered and omitted...".
[1] He was a Whig Member (MP) of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for Cambridgeshire 1830 to 1832.
[1] Adeane married firstly, on 24 October 1822, Katharine Judith (1804 – 27 June 1825), daughter of John King of Aldenham House, Herts.
