Alfred Gathorne-Hardy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfred Erskine Gathorne-Hardy (27 February 1845-11 November 1918), was a British Conservative Member of Parliament.
Gathorne-Hardy was the third son of Gathorne Gathorne-Hardy, 1st Earl of Cranbrook, and Jane Orr. Born Alfred Hardy, he assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Gathorne in 1878 like the rest of his family. The same year he was elected to the House of Commons for Canterbury, a seat he held until 1880, when the constituency was suspended. He returned to Parliament in 1886 when he was returned for East Grinstead, and continued to represent this constituency until 1895.
Gathorne-Hardy died in November 1918, aged 73.
