William Heaton-Armstrong

William Charles Heaton-Armstrong (1 September 1853 – 20 July 1917) was a British Liberal Party politician, merchant and banker.

[1] He succeeded on the death of his father to the senior representation of the families of Heaton-Armstrong, Armstrong of Mangerton, Mount Heaton and Farney Castle, Macdonnell of New Hall, and Heaton of Yorkshire.

His first involvement in politics came when he stood as a Conservative candidate contesting Mid-Tipperary at the General Election in 1892[5] against the separation of Ireland from England.

He did not defend his seat at the January 1910 General Election and retired from politics.
