Ellis Hume-Williams
Sir Ellis William Hume-Williams, 1st Baronet KBE, PC, KC (19 August 1863 – 4 February 1947) was a British barrister and Conservative Party politician.
Hume-Williams was a King's Counsel (KC), and in October 1901 was appointed Recorder of the Borough of Bury St Edmunds.[1]
At the January 1910 general election, Hume-Williams was elected as Member of Parliament for the Bassetlaw constituency in Nottinghamshire. He was created a baronet, of Ewhurst, in the County of Surrey, in 1922.[2] He lost his seat at the 1929 general election to Malcolm Macdonald (son of the Labour Party leader Ramsay MacDonald), and did not stand for Parliament again. He was made a Privy Counsellor in July 1929, shortly after his electoral defeat.
