Sir Gilbert Greenall, 1st Baronet

Sir Gilbert Greenall, 1st Baronet, DL, JP (11 May 1806 – 10 July 1894) was a British businessman and Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1847 and 1892.

His grandfather was Thomas Greenall, who had established a brewery in St Helens in 1762, on which the family wealth was based.

[1] In 1847 Greenall was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Warrington, a seat he held until 1868, when he was unseated through an error of the Mayor's poll-clerk.

[3] He lost his seat at Warrington in 1880, but was re-elected in 1885 and remained until he retired at the 1892 general election.

He died in July 1894, aged 88, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his only son from his first marriage, Gilbert, who was created Baron Daresbury in 1927.
