Thomas Bramston (c. 1690–1765), of Skreens, near Maldon, Essex, was a British lawyer and Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1727 to 1747.
Diana died on 10 January 1726 and he married as his second wife Elizabeth Berney, daughter of Richard Berney, recorder of Norwich, in January 1733 [2] At the 1727 British general election, Bramston was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Maldon replacing Thomas Bramston of Writtle with whom his political career has sometimes been conflated.
On 11 March 1730, he moved for ‘an address to the King for a particular account of the £60,000 granted last year for to make good the engagements with foreign princes’, but Walpole avoided the question through parliamentary procedure.
In 1733 he carried a motion to change the process for repairing high roads to one that was fairer for the labourers but the bill which he introduced was lost on its third reading.
The 2nd Lord Egmont included him among Members whom it would be essential to bring back into the House on the accession of Frederick, Prince of Wales.
