Coleridge John Kennard (6 October 1828 – 25 December 1890) [1] was a Conservative Party politician.
Kennard was the third son of banker John Peirse Kennard, of Hordle Cliff, Hampshire, and Sophia, daughter of Sir John Chapman, M.D., F.R.C.S., of Windsor. [2] [3] [4]
He first stood for election in Salisbury in 1880 but was unsuccessful. However, he was then elected MP for the constituency at a by-election in 1882, but lost the seat when it was reduced to one member in 1885. [5]
Just prior to his death, Kennard was expected to be created a baronet. However, upon his death, his grandson Coleridge Kennard received the title. [6]
During his life, he was Deputy Lieutenant of London and a Justice of the Peace for Hampshire. [6] He was a managing director of Heywood, Kennard and Co. bank, and co-founder of the Evening News. [7] [3]
Kennard married Ellen Georgiana Rowe, daughter of Captain John Wilkinson Rowe, H.E.I.C.S. in 1858. Together, they had at least two children: Meredyth Sophia Frances, and Hugh Coleridge Downing. [6]
