Thomas Brodrick (1654–1730)

Irish and British politician and landowner

Summary

Irish and British politician and landowner

Thomas Brodrick (4 August 1654 – 3 October 1730) was an Irish and British politician who sat in the Irish House of Commons between 1692 and 1727 and also in the British House of Commons from 1713 to 1727. He owned lands in both Surrey in England, and County Cork, Ireland.

Life

Brodrick was the eldest son of Sir St John Brodrick of Ballyannan, Midleton, County Cork and his wife Alice Clayton, daughter of Laurence Clayton of Mallow, County Cork and his wife Alice Brady daughter of Luke Brady, of Tuamgraney, co. Clare. He was admitted at Trinity Hall, Cambridge and also at Middle Temple in 1670. He received an LLB in 1677. He inherited lands at Wandsworth in 1680, and received a settlement of some of the family's Irish lands upon marrying.

Brodrick sat in the Irish House of Commons for Midleton from 1692 to 1693, for County Cork from 1695 to 1699 and again from 1703 to 1713, and for Midleton again from 1715 to 1727. He was appointed to the Irish Privy Council in 1695, removed by the Tory administration in 1711 but reappointed in 1714.

Brodrick lived more in England than Ireland in his adult years. Dean Jonathan Swift referred to him in connection with his political activities at least twice in his writings.

Personal life

Brodrick died on 3 October 1730 at the family estate at Wandsworth, and was buried there.
