Edward George Barnard
Edward George Barnard (1778 – 14 June 1851)[1] was a British shipbuilder and Liberal Party politician.[2][3]
He was the son of William and Frances Barnard and baptised on 18 May 1778.
He was elected at the 1832 general election as one of the two Members of Parliament (MPs) for the newly enfranchised borough of Greenwich.[8][9] He was regarded as an "ultra-radical" who was in favour of the abolition of slavery, triennial parliaments, an ending of "taxes on knowledge" and the secret ballot.[8] He held the seat until his death at his family seat in 1851, aged 73.[1][8] He was buried in the family vault in Gosfield Parish Church on 21 June.[10]
