Edmond Wodehouse

Edmond Robert Wodehouse PC (3 June 1835 – 14 December 1914), was a British Unionist politician.

Wodehouse was the only child of Sir Philip Edmond Wodehouse, Governor of Bombay, and Katherine Mary Templer. His great-grandfather Thomas Wodehouse was a younger son of Sir Armine Wodehouse, 5th Baronet, whose eldest son John Wodehouse, 1st Baron Wodehouse, was the ancestor of the Earls of Kimberley. Wodehouse was elected to the House of Commons for Bath in 1880, a seat he held until 1906. In 1898 he was admitted to the Privy Council.

Wodehouse married Adele Sophia Harriett Bagot, daughter of Reverend Charles Walter Bagot, in 1876. He died in December 1914, aged 79.
