John Smith (Wendover MP)

John Smith (Wendover MP)

John Smith (6 September, 1767-20 January, 1842) was a British politician.

He was the son of Abel Smith, a Nottingham banker who had been a Member of Parliament for Aldborough, St Ives, and St Germans, and the brother of Robert Smith, 1st Baron Carrington.

Smith was Tory Member of Parliament for Wendover from 1802 to 1806 and later represented Nottingham from 1806 to 1818, Midhurst from 1818 to 1830 and Buckinghamshire from 1831 to 1835. (He was also elected for Midhurst in 1806, but preferred to sit for Nottingham on that occasion. Both Wendover and Midhurst were pocket boroughs controlled by his brother Lord Carrington, but the competitive Nottingham constituency was considerably more prestigious.)

Smith married three times. By his second wife, Elizabeth Tucker (1773-1809), he had two sons, John Abel Smith (1802-1871), who succeeded him as MP for Midhurst, and Martin Tucker Smith (1803-1890), who became MP for Wycombe; and he had two daughters by his third wife, Emma Leigh.

His great-grandson Vivian Hugh Smith was created Baron Bicester in 1938.
