William John Sawrey Morritt (c. 1813 – 13 April 1874)[1] was a British Conservative Party[2] politician from Rokeby,[3] which was then in Yorkshire but is now in County Durham.
He was elected as a member of parliament (MP) for the North Riding of Yorkshire at a by-election in March 1862,[3] following the death of the Liberal MP Edward Stillingfleet Cayley.
He held the seat until the 1865 general election,[1] when he was defeated by the Liberal Frederick Milbank.
