Walter Long (MP)

Walter Long JP, DL (10 October 1793 – 31 January 1867) was an English politician.

Born in Rood Ashton in Wiltshire, he was the son of Richard Godolphin Long and Florentina Wrey. Baptised on 18 November 1793, Long was educated in Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated with a Master of Arts in 1812. He served in the Wiltshire Yeomanry, reaching the rank of Major and was Member of Parliament (MP) for North Wiltshire from 1835 to 1865. Long was Deputy Lieutenant for Surrey, for Montgomeryshire and for Wiltshire as well as Justice of Peace for Wiltshire. He died, aged 73 at Torquay in Devon and was buried in West Ashton, Wiltshire, near his home Rood Ashton House.

On 2 August 1819, he married firstly Mary Anne Colquhoun, daughter of Rt. Hon. Archibald Colquhoun in Easter Kilpatrick in Dunbartonshire. He married secondly Mary Anne Bickerton Hillyar, daughter of Rear-Admiral Sir James Hillyar in St George's Church in London on 15 April 1857. He had six children by his first wife, three daughters and three sons including Richard Penruddocke Long, and one son by his second wife, Lieutenant Walter Hillyar Colquhoun Long who was involved in the siege at Lydenburg, South Africa, during the First Boer War. W.H.C Long, criticised for his handling of the siege, was later court-martialled and subsequently jumped to his death from a 4th floor window of the Grosvenor Hotel in London.
