John Gisborne

John Gisborne (c. 1717–1779) was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1775 to 1776 .

Gisborne was the only son of Thomas Gisborne of Derby and his wife Temperance Packer, daughter of Robert Packer MP of Shillingford, Berkshire.

[1] Gisborne exercised political influence in Derby which he appears to have used on behalf of the Cavendishes for many years.

He stood for Derby at a by-election on 30 January 1775 probably supported by Cavendish.

He was returned as Member of Parliament, but petitions were submitted complaining that he exercised undue influence over the mayor.
