Eliot Yorke

Eliot Yorke was a British politician.

Background

Yorke was the third son of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Joseph Sydney Yorke, second son of Charles Yorke, second son of Philip Yorke, 1st Earl of Hardwicke. His mother was Elizabeth Weake Rattray, daughter of James Rattray. Admiral Charles Yorke, 4th Earl of Hardwicke, was his elder brother. After his elder brother succeeded in the earldom in 1834, Yorke was granted the style of a younger son of an earl, and thus styled the Honourable Eliot Yorke.

Political career

Yorke was elected as one of three representatives for Cambridgeshire in the 1835 general election, a seat he held until 1865.

Personal life

On 31 January 1833, Yorke married Emily Anne Millicent, daughter of Emilius Henry Delmé Radcliffe, in St. Mary, Hitchin, Hertfordshire. They had no children. He died on 3 May 1885, at 15 Park Street, Westminster, London, aged 80. Emily Yorke died on 1 January 1894, in Westminster, London.

gollark: If there was no licensing, it would be possible for some cryoapioform to decide "hmm, I really want to communicate with some random person over here" and use an overpowered transmitter, thus drowning out all mobile phone reception nearby (on that frequency, at least, they can use several).

gollark: Things like mobile networks need large amounts of bandwidth available and not being interfered with to work.

gollark: It's right to transmit, not literally all control over that frequency ever.
