Thomas Fydell (politician, 1773)
Thomas Fydell ( December 15, 1773 - June 28, 1814 ) was a British politician.
Thomas Fydell was the second eldest son of Thomas Fydell and his wife. Fydell had lived in the south of France since 1800 for health reasons. When tensions between the United Kingdom and France rose again in 1803, he was arrested as an Englishman. His father, meanwhile, proposed him as a candidate for his vacant seat in the House of Commons . He himself had to give it up because of electoral irregularities. Thomas Fydell was elected and represented the Boston constituency in the House of Commons from May 17, 1803 to 1806. Through the intervention of Sir Joseph Banks , a friend of his father's, Fydell was released in November 1803.
He died unmarried on June 28, 1814.
