John Charles Ramsden

John Charles Ramsden (30 April 1788 – 29 December 1836)[1][2] was a British Whig[3][4] politician from Newby Park in Yorkshire.

He was the eldest son of Sir John Ramsden, 4th Baronet (1755–1839), the Member of Parliament (MP) for Grampound, and his wife Hon.

[5][12] He was appointed as a Deputy Lieutenant of Yorkshire in May 1831,[13] and held his seat in Parliament until the constituency was divided by the Reform Act 1832,[1] and at the general election in December 1832 he unsuccessfully contested the new North Riding of Yorkshire constituency.

[4] He was returned to the Commons three months later, when he was elected without a contest[14] as MP for the Malton,[15] at a by-election after the sitting Liberal MP Viscount Milton resigned to contest a vacancy in the Northern division of Northamptonshire.

As he predeceased his father, his son John succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his grandfather, the 4th baronet in 1839.
