Sir John Thomas Buller Duckworth, 2nd Baronet (17 March 1809 – 29 November 1887)[1] was a British Conservative politician.
Life[edit]
He was the son of his namesake John Duckworth and Susanna Catherine Buller. He was educated at Eton College, and matriculated at Oriel College, Oxford in 1826, graduating B.A. in 1829.[2] He inherited the baronetcy of Topsham in 1817 on the death of his father.[3]
Duckworth was elected Conservative MP for Exeter at a by-election in 1845—caused by the death of William Webb Follett—and held the seat until 1857 when he did not seek re-election at that year's general election.[4]
Family[edit]
Duckworth married Mary Isabella Buller, daughter of John and Harriet Buller, in 1850, and they had three children: Mary Georgiana (born 1852); Evelyn Harriet (born 1857); and, Fanny Catherine (born 1860).
