Background

He was the second son of Sir John Bingham, 5th Baronet and his wife Anne Vesey, daughter of Agmondisham Vesey.[2] In 1750, Bingham succeeded his older brother John as baronet.[3]

Career

Bingham was appointed High Sheriff of Mayo in 1756.[4] He was elected as Member of Parliament for both Castlebar and Mayo in 1761, and chose to sit for the latter.[5] He was returned to the Irish House of Commons until 1776,[5] when he was elevated to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Lucan, of Castlebar, in the County of Mayo.[6] As his title enabled him only to take a seat in the Irish House of Lords, Bingham was not restricted from entering the British House of Commons for Northampton in 1782, representing it until two years later.[7] In 1795, Bingham was further ennobled as Earl of Lucan, of Castlebar, in the County of Mayo.[8]

Family

Bingham died, aged 63 at Charles Street, London and was succeeded in his titles by his only son Richard.[9]
