Sir William Mordaunt Edward Milner, 5th Baronet (20 June 1820 – 12 February 1867)[1] was a Whig politician.
He married Lady Georgiana Anne Lumley—daughter of Frederick Lumley-Savile and Charlotte Mary Beresford—in 1844, and they had at least seven children: Edith Harriet (1845–1921); Evelyn Selina (c. 1847–1900); William Mordaunt (1848–1880); Frederick George (1849–1931); Granville Henry (1852–1911); Dudley Francis (1854–1882); and Edward Carolus (1858–1918).
[5] Milner was first elected Whig MP for City of York at a by-election in 1848—caused by the death of Henry Galgacus Redhead Yorke—and held the seat until 1857, when he did not seek re-election.
[7][5] William Milner put together an important collection of stuffed British Birds, including a Great Auk.
[11] A large portion of it was destroyed on 15 March 1941 when a bomb landed on the City Museum, Park Row, Leeds.
