Sir Compton Domvile, 1st Baronet

Sir Compton Domvile, 1st Baronet (c. 1775 – 23 February 1857) of Templeogue and Santry House, County Dublin, was an Irish Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom parliament and Governor of County Dublin.

Charles was the son of Admiral Christopher Pocklington and the grandson of John Pocklington, an English-born lawyer who settled in Ireland and became a Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland).

He changed his own surname from Pocklington to Domvile in 1814 and was created a Baronet (of Templeogue and Santry House) in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 27 December 1814.

[2] He was keen to see the Barony of Santry revived in his favour and wrote to Peel asking for the privilege.

Peel declined the request but arranged for him to have a seat in Parliament in 1818 for the rotten borough of Bossiney.
