Lancelot Rolleston

Lancelot Rolleston (20 July 1785 – 18 May 1862)[1] was a British Conservative Party politician.

He was elected unopposed[2] as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Southern division of Nottinghamshire at the 1837 general election.[3] He was re-elected unopposed[2] in 1841[4] and 1847,[5] and resigned from the House of Commons in 1849 by the procedural device of accepting the post of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds.[6]

His daughter Charlotte Frances Anne Rolleston (died January 1853) was married on 11 April 1840 to the Whig politician George Heneage.[7]
