Background [edit]
Heneage was the son of George Robert Heneage and Frances Anne, daughter of Lieutenant-General George Ainslie. His middle name derived from his descent from Roboaldo Fieschi, Conte di Lavagna.
Political career [edit]
Heneage was elected at the 1826 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Great Grimsby,[2][3][5] but when he stood for re-election in 1830 he was defeated by the Tory candidate George Harris.[3]
At the 1831 general election Heneage was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Lincoln.[1][6] He was re-elected in 1832,[7] but did not contest the seat at the 1835 general election.[4]
He did not stand for Parliament again until the 1852 general election, when he was returned as an MP for Lincoln, this time as a Conservative.[4] He was re-elected as a Liberal[4] in 1857 and in 1859, but resigned his seat his seat in January 1862 (by taking the Chiltern Hundreds) in order to contest a by-election in Great Grimsby.[4] He was defeated in Grimsby by 446 votes to 458,[8] and lodged an election petition against the result. The peition was dismissed, and he did not stand again.
He also served as High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1839
Family [edit]
Heneage married Frances, daughter of Michael Tasburgh, in 1833. Their son Edward was also a politician and was elevated to the peerage as Baron Heneage in 1896. Frances died in 1842. Heneage remained a widower until his death in May 1864, aged 63.
