Lt. Col. Alexander Learmonth (1829 - 10 March 1887)[1] was a British Army officer and a Conservative Party politician.

Life

Born at 4 Princes Street in Edinburgh, the eldest son of John Learmonth,[2] Alexander Learmonth was educated at University College, Oxford, where he matriculated in 1847 before entering the Inner Temple to study law. He joined the Army and became a Colonel in the 17th Lancers.[3]

On retiring from the Army he was elected Conservative MP for Colchester on 3 November 1877,[4] sitting from 1870 to 1880.[5]

In 1859, he married Charlotte Lyons, the eldest daughter of Lieutenant-General Humphrey Lyons. The couple had 7 children.Шаблон:Cn

By 1878, his extravagant London lifestyle caused his bankruptcy and the lands he had inherited in Edinburgh from his father were sold to the builder James Steel.[6]
