Henry Morgan-Clifford
Henry Morgan-Clifford (1806 – 12 February 1884)[1] was a British Liberal Party[2] politician.
He was elected unopposed at the
At the 1868 general election he stood in the two-seat Monmouthshire county constituency,[3] a county where owned he a large house called Llantilio Court, at Llantilio Crossenny, near Abergavenny, having inherited it in 1847 from a cousin.[4] However, Monmouthshire had been a solidly Conservative seat since 1841, and in the constituency's first contested election since the Reform Act 1832, Morgan-Clifford came a poor third behind the two Conservative candidates.[3]
Morgan-Clifford's heir and only surviving child was his daughter Marion, who married James Fitzwalter Butler (1839–1899), the 15th and 25th Baron Dunboyne. In 1860 they changed their surname by royal licence to Clifford-Butler.[5]
