Thomas Gardiner Bramston

[1] He was the son of Thomas Berney Bramston, Member of Parliament for Essex, and his wife Mary Gardiner, educated at Felsted School and New College, Oxford.

[1] For the 1820 general election, Bramston was nominated as candidate for Essex, though without his knowledge, by Henry Conyers and Francis Wollaston.

The death of George IV then caused a general election of 1830, and Bramston was unwilling to stand again, having spent some four months in Parliament.

[1] In 1796, Bramston married Maria Anne (died 1821), daughter of William Blaauw, of Queen Anne Street, Middlesex, of a Dutch family of Amsterdam burgomasters, and half-sister of the antiquarian William Henry Blaauw.

Bramston married secondly, in 1823, Charlotte, daughter of Sir Henry Hawley, 1st Baronet.
