Edward Wyndham Harrington Schenley (1799 – 31 January 1878)[1] was a British Liberal politician, and military officer.
Born in Woolwich, Kent, Schenley married twice, first to Jane Maria Pole, daughter of Sir William Templer Pole, 7th Baronet and Charlotte Fraser. They had one child, Fanny Inglis Schenley (born c. 1834). After Jane died in 1837, he re-married in 1842 in an elopement to Mary Elizabeth Croghan, daughter of William Croghan and Mary O'Hara, and they had eleven children: Elizabeth Pole (c. 1842–1915); William Croghan (died 1846); Lily (born 1843); Jane Inglis (1844–1925); Henrietta Agnes (born 1847); Clarence Edward Paget (born 1850); Alice (1853–1930); Richard E. M. (born 1853); Nina (born 1855); Hermione Octavia Croghan (c. 1859–1942); and George Alfred (1861–1934).[2]
Schenley was elected Liberal MP for Dartmouth at the 1859 general election, but was three months later unseated after an election petition committee found his win had been secured through bribery and corruption.[3][4]
Schenley also gained the rank of officer in the Rifle Brigade and acting judge in Havanna.[2]
