William Henry Hornby

William Henry Hornby (born in Blackburn, Lancashire, 1805 – 1884) was variously an industrialist, the Mayor of Blackburn in Lancashire and Chairman of the Conservative Party.

He was Member of Parliament for Blackburn from 1857 to 1865.

His sons, Edward and William, were also M.P.s for Blackburn from 1869 to 1874, and from 1886 to 1910 respectively. Another son, Albert, was the England cricket captain who lost the Test match which gave rise to the Ashes, at home against the Australians in 1882.
