Biography

Granville William Gresham Leveson-Gower (25 February 1838 – 30 May 1895) was a British Liberal Party politician.

Leveson-Gower was the son of William and Emily Josephine Eliza (née Doyle) Leveson-Gower. In 1861, he married Sophia Leigh, daughter of Chandos and Margarette (née Willes) Leigh, and they had at least 10 children: Margaret Emily (1862–1948); Ronald William (1863–1889); Granville Charles (1865–1948); Ethel Sophie (1866–1950); Frederick Archibald (1871–1946); Evelyn Marmaduke (1872–1938); Henry Dudley (1873–1954); Cecil Octavius (1875–1937); Clement Edward (1876–1939); and Katherine Ursula (1878–1963).

Leveson-Gower was elected Liberal MP for Reigate at a by-election in 1863—caused by the succession of William Monson to the peerage as Lord Monson—and held the seat until 1866 when he was unseated due to extensive bribery in the seat. The seat was later disenfranchised under the Reform Act 1867.
