Emanuel Felix Agar
Sir Emanuel Felix Agar (22 February 1781[1] – 28 August 1866)[2] was a British politician and soldier.
Agar was born in London to Thomas Agar and Mary Ann Agar. He served in the British Army and took part in the Peninsular War.[3] He retired as major of the Life Guards and worked then in the department of the Treasurer of the Navy.[3] Having stood unsuccessfully for Sudbury already in 1806,[3] he entered the British House of Commons for it in the following year and represented the constituency until the general election of 1812, when he lost his seat.[2] In the latter year, Agar was created a Knight Bachelor.[3] Throughout his time in parliament, Agar was a Pittitte.[4]
He died, aged 85, at Stratford Place, his wife Margaret having predeceased him in 1863.[5]
