Charles Edward Mangles (1798–1874) was an English businessman and Member of Parliament.

Life

Mangles was a son of James Mangles.[1] He was employed as a naval officer by the East India Company, a midshipman in 1811, becoming a commander in 1827 on the Marchioness of Ely.[2] In 1831 he left the service of the East India Company, in order to marry, and joined his elder brother Frederick, who had taken over their father's business, as a partner.[3] In the following decade Mangles & Co. became an East India agency.[4] The private bank Mangles, Keen & Co. was operating in Epsom in 1838.[5]

Mangles acquired the Poyle Park estate near

London and South Western Railway Company.[12]

In 1864 the West Surrey private bank, C. E. Mangles & Co., dating back to 1836, was converted into the public South Eastern Banking Company; Mangles joined the new board. It expanded and changed name, taking over a Ramsgate bank, and being known as the Counties Joint Stock Bank and English Joint-Stock Bank. It did not survive the Panic of 1866, however. Charles Bradlaugh brought an action against the English Joint-Stock Bank, for unpaid commission.[13][14][15]

Family

Mangles married Rose Newcomb.[1] James Henry Mangles the diarist was their eldest son.[16]
