Sir Edmund Buckley, 1st Baronet (16 April 1834 – 21 March 1910) was a British landowner and Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1865 to 1878.
In 1856, his father issued a "take note" (permission to explore for minerals) to search for slate on Mynydd Hendre-ddu, about 4 miles west of Aberangell.
[2] A slump in the slate industry together with the failure of some of his other businesses led to his financial collapse in 1876, and he had to declare bankruptcy.
[6] At the 1868 general election he was re-elected for Newcastle-under-Lyme and held the seat until 1878,[7] when he resigned from the Commons by taking the Chiltern Hundreds.
Sarah died in 1883 and Buckley married her cousin Sarah Mysie Burton (née Jenkins), daughter of Evan Jenkins, Rector of Loughor in 1885 [1][5] His son by his first marriage, also called Edmund Buckley, born in 1861, inherited the Baronetcy on his father's death.
