Thomas Hussey (Lyme Regis MP)
Thomas Hussey DL, JP (1814–1894)[1] was a British Conservative Party politician.
Hussey was the eldest son of John Hussey.[2] He was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1837.[3] In the same year he was called to the bar by Lincoln's Inn and in 1840 obtained his Master of Arts.[3]
When his predecessor William Pinney was unseated in 1842, Hussey instead entered the British House of Commons.[4] He was returned for Lyme Regis until 1847.[4] Hussey served in the Somerset Militia, commanding it as colonel.[1] He was a Deputy Lieutenant nominated for Dorsetshire and represented the county also as Justice of the Peace.[3]
In 1853, Hussey married Julia, daughter of John Hickson.[1] He died at Lympstone in 1894.[1]
