Thomas Gisborne (1789 – 20 July 1852) was an English Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons variously between 1830 and 1852.
[2] He found success as a coal, lime, and sand merchant in Manchester, though he lived most of his life at his two estates: Horwick House, Derbyshire and Yoxall Lodge, Staffordshire.
[1] Via his wife's sister, Susan, he was brother-in-law of Francis Dukinfield Astley, and there was a considerable scandal when Astley died suddenly at Horwick House in 1825 and Gisborne was accused of having poisoned him; however, he managed to clear his name after a coroner's inquest.
