Oxfordshire MPs - SOLVED!
« on: Sunday 28 October 07 23:28 GMT (UK) »
Browsing through Google Book Search earlier today, I found a result that seemed to show that a John WASTIE was the MP for Oxford City between 1807-18 and 1820-30.

Can anyone help me verify this?

Hi Ian ...

Thanks for your reply.  I also spotted this one whilst having a Google, but would really like to find him listed in black and white in an "official" record of MPs (something that I don't seem able to find on the internet!).

Have now solved my problem! 

John Ingram LOCKHART was MP for Oxford 1807/18 and 1820/30.  In 1831 Parliament allowed him to change his surname to WASTIE (he had married Mary Gibbard WASTIE of Cowley, Oxon. in 1804), presumably to carry on the family name.

So ... no WASTIE-born MP!
