Sir Edward Goodere, 1st Baronet

Edward Goodere (1657–1739) of Burghope, Herefordshire was a British politician. [1]

He was born the only surviving son of John Goodere of Burghope, Herefordshire by his wife Anne Morgan, the daughter of John Morgan of Kent. John Goodere was Deputy-Governor of Bombay who had bought the Burghope (also rendered Burhope) estate on his return to England in 1669.

Edward was created a baronet on 5 December 1707, and was elected Member of Parliament in the Parliament of Great Britain for Evesham over three parliaments 1708–15, and for Herefordshire in the 1722–27 parliament.

He married on 21 January 1679 at Bodenham, Herefordshire, Helen Dineley, the daughter and heir of Sir Edward Dineley of Charlton, Worcestershire, and his wife Frances, the daughter of Lewis Watson, 1st Baron Rockingham. They had three sons. She died in or before 1714.

He died on 29 March 1739, at the age of nearly 90. His eldest son was killed in a duel. He was thus succeeded by his eldest surviving son, Sir John Dineley Goodere, 2nd Baronet, who was later strangled on board HMS Ruby, a crime for which his younger brother Samuel was executed. Sir John had left the Burghope estate to a nephew, John Foote.
