English politician From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hylton Jolliffe (28 February 1773 – 13 January 1843)[1] was an English politician.
Joliffe was the eldest son of William Jolliffe (1745–1802) of Merstham and his wife Eleanor, daughter and heir of Sir Richard Hylton, 5th Baronet, of Hayton Castle in Cumberland. He was educated at Westminster School and at Lincoln's Inn. In 1804 he married Elizabeth Rose, the illegitimate daughter of Robert Shirley, 7th Earl Ferrers. The couple had no children, but Joliffe fathered two illegitimate sons.[2]
He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for the borough of Petersfield for most of the period between 1796 and 1834.[2][3] His father represented the same borough for 34 years, and the two served alongside each other from 1796 to 1797.[1]
