Edmund Buckley (born 1780)[1] was a British Conservative Party politician. He was a successful industrialist, owning iron works, collieries and cotton mills. He was the Chairman of the Manchester Exchange during the 1850s, resigning that post in 1860.[1]
He was elected at the 1841 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Newcastle-under-Lyme,[2] and held the seat until the 1847 general election,[3] when he did not stand again.[4]
His illegitimate son Edmund Peck, was born in 1834.[5] Peck later adopted his father's surname and inherited his fortune, and became Sir Edmund Buckley, 1st Baronet.
