Sir Geers Henry Cotterell, 3rd Baronet (22 August 1834 – 17 March 1900)[1] was a Whig politician.[2][3]
Cotterell was the son of Sir John Henry Cotterell (who had died before the birth) and Pyne Jesse Trevor, daughter of Henry Trevor and Pyne Crosbie. He married Katherine Margaret Airey, daughter of Richard Airey, and Harriet Mary Evard Talbot, in 1865. They had at least three children: John Richard Geers Cotterell (1866–1937); Alice Cotterell (died 1924); and Louisa Cotterell. Cottell succeeded to the Baronetage of Garnons on 17 February 1847, upon the death of his brother John Henry Cotterell[3][4]
Cotterell was elected Whig MP for Herefordshire at the 1857 general election and held the seat until 1859, when he stood down.[5][3]
Outside of politics, Cotterell was High Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1863, as well as a Deputy Lieutenant and a Justice of the Peace for the same county.[3]
