Ralph Bernal Osborne

Ralph Bernal Osborne (26 March 1808 – 4 January 1882), born Ralph Bernal, was a British Liberal politician.

He was the eldest son of Ralph Bernal, himself an MP, who died in 1854. The younger Bernal entered the military in 1831, as an ensign of the 71st Regiment. He later served with the 7th Royal Fusiliers, and finally left the army in 1844 with the rank of captain.

He had already been elected to parliament in 1841 as a member for Chipping Wycombe, in the Liberal interest, and later sat for Middlesex, Dover, Liskeard, Nottingham, and Waterford. In 1847 he married Catherine Isabella, the daughter of Sir Thomas Osborne, and took her name, becoming Ralph Bernal Osborne.
