Edward Pery Buckley


Edward Pery Buckley was a British Liberal and Whig politician.
Buckley was the son of his namesake, Edward Pery Buckley, and Lady Georgiana West. He married Catherine Pleydell-Bouverie, daughter of William Pleydell-Bouverie and Catherine née Pelham-Clinton, in 1828, and together they had six children: Frances Gertrude ; Alfred ; Edward William ; Duncombe Frederick ; Felix John ; and Victor.
He was first elected Whig MP for Salisbury at a by-election in 1853—caused by the death of Charles Baring Wall–and, becoming a Liberal in 1859, held the seat until the 1865 general election, when he did not seek re-election.
Outside of his political career, Buckley also became Colonel in the 83rd Regiment of Foot.
