Rt. Hon. William Ewart Gladstone PM
William Ewart Gladstone was educated at Eton and Oxford University and was elected to Parliament in 1832 as a Tory, but became Liberal-Conservative when the Conservative Party split in 1846. Thirteen years later, he joined the Liberal Party, and in 1867, he was elected as their leader. A year later, he started the first of his four terms as Prime Minister of England and became one of the most prominant leaders of the Victorian period.
On 25 July 1839, he married Catherine Glynne and raised 4 sons & 4 daughters. She was daughter of Sir Stephen Richard Glynne, 8th Baronet, and Mary Griffin of Hawarden Castle in Wales, where William Gladstone died in 1898.
He was given a State funeral in London, on 28 May 1898, and his pallbearers included the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) and the Duke of York (later King George V). He was buried at Westminster Abbey, where his wife joined him two years later.
William is shown in this tree as he was an uncle of Lucy Marion Gladstone, who married Sir Reginald Hardy, 2nd Baronet of Dunstall Hall, Staffordshire, in 1876. Reginald was previously a Member of Parliament Datmouth, and later Tutbury, Staffordshire.
William knew Reginald's grandfather, John Hardy, who was MP for Bradford, and in 1865 he was defeated as MP for Oxford University constituency by Reginald's uncle, Gathorne Hardy, who later became 1st Earl of Cranbrook.
