William Fytche (MP)

William Fytche (c. 1671–1728) was an English politician, Member of Parliament for Maldon in Essex.

After his father died, in 1673, he was brought up by his uncle George Bramston, an academic and judge, and a Tory.

[1][2] He appointed William Bramston, brother of George and defender of Anglican orthodoxy, Rector of Woodham Walter in 1686.

He dropped out of what was by then a safe seat, intending to pursue a position as an official, with the assistance of Henry St John; but he stood again in 1711, becoming a lottery comptroller, and so resigning his seat.

Their youngest son was William Fytche, briefly Governor of Bengal.
