Thomas Lewis Ingram (1807 – 1868) was a British merchant who served as the acting colonial governor of the Gambia on five occasions.
During the early 1840s, Ingram clashed with British merchants in the Gambia, including Thomas Brown and John Hughes.
Brown and Hughes accused Ingram of exerting official pressure on the courts through his younger brother, Alexander, who was a judge, and his friend, John Mantell, who was the Queen's Advocate.
His relationship with the governor frayed, and in 1849 he wrote to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Earl Grey, to investigate MacDonnell's conduct.
[1] Ingram's younger brother, Alexander, joined the Gambian administration in the early 1840s, serving as Queen's Advocate, then Assistant Judge, then a clerk in the Customs Department, before drowning in 1849.
The eldest, also named Thomas Lewis Ingram (1875-1916) was educated at Monkton Combe School together with his brothers George and James.
[6] Thomas Lewis Ingram, as a captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps, was killed in France on 16 September 1916.
