Samuel Irton

Samuel Irton (29 September 1796 – 10 July 1866)[1][2] was a British Conservative politician.

In 1825, he married Eleanor, daughter of Joseph Tiffin Senhouse, but they had no children.

Upon his death in 1866, his estates were passed to his cousin Elizabeth Fell.

[2] Irton was first elected Conservative MP for West Cumberland at a by-election in 1833—caused by William Lowther opting to sit for Westmorland—and held the seat until 1847 when he stood down.

[3][2] Outside of his political career, Irton was both a Justice of the Peace and a Deputy Lieutenant for Cumberland.
