Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Edward Charles Close (Senior) (12 March 1790 – 7 May 1866)[1] was a British soldier, engineer, New South Wales colonial magistrate, member of the New South Wales Legislative Council, and early European settler in Morpeth.[2][3] He was born at Rangamati, British India (in what is now Bangladesh) and was the only child of merchant Edward and Marianne Collinson, daughter of Michael Collinson.[4] He accompanied his mother to England when she went there following his father's death. They settled with Marianne's brother Charles Streynsham Collinson on his estate at the Chantry, Ipswich.[5]

Enlisted in the army in 1808, he served in the Peninsular War as lieutenant in the 48th Regiment.[4]

He arrived in New South Wales on the 3rd of August 1817 on the Matilda.[4] Close was transferred to Newcastle where he was acting engineer from 1821 to 1822.[1]

On 27 September 1821 at St John's Church, Parramatta he married Sophia Susannah Palmer, daughter of John Palmer.[4] In 1822 he resigned from the army to settle in a 2,560 acre property in Morpeth.[4]

In 1829 he was appointed to the Legislative Council, however he found membership of the council to be a burden, both in expense and time and he resigned with effect from 1838.[2]

Close's son, Edward Charles Close junior, was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.[6]
