Sir Robert Price, 2nd Baronet
- Sir Robert Price, 2nd Baronet
Sir Robert Price, 2nd Baronet (3 August 1786 – 6 November 1857) was a British baronet and Member of Parliament.
Robert Price was the only son of Sir Uvedale Price, the writer on the Picturesque, by Lady Caroline Carpenter, fourth daughter of George Carpenter, 1st Earl of Tyrconnel. [Robinson, Rev. Charles John (1873): "A History of the Mansions and Manors of Herefordshire". Longman & Co.]
He was MP for Herefordshire from 1818 until 1841. [Griffith, John Edward (1914): "Pedigrees of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire Families". Horncastle: Morton & Sons.] On 8 July 1823 he married his first cousin Mary Anne Elizabeth, daughter of the late Rev. Dr. Robert Price, Canon of Salisbury and Prebendary of Durham, by his second wife Mary Anne Sanderson. The marriage took place at the house of Barrington Price, then of Haslemere ["The London Magazine" vol. VIII, July-December 1823, p.231. London: Taylor & Hessey.] , the youngest of his six uncles on his father's side. Sir Uvedale Price died in 1829 and Robert succeeded as 2nd Baronet of Foxley.
Sir Robert stood for election to the constituency of Hereford City in 1845; he was unopposed, and remained the MP until January 1857. He was "of Whig principles; in favour of an extension of the franchise and short parliaments". [Dod, Robert Phipps (1857): "The Parliamentary Companion for 1857", p.258. London: Whittaker & Co.]
He died 5 or 6 November 1857 without issue, whereupon the baronetcy became extinct. His widow died March 1878. [Duncumb, Rev. John. "Collections towards the History and Antiquities of the County of Herefordshire".]
