George Woodroffe Franklyn (1800 – 5 November 1870)[1] was a British Conservative politician.

Franklyn had at least two brothers, John, who died in 1879, and James.[2] He also had four daughters; the eldest, Alice Mary, married in 1857 to Captain John Sanderson R.N.,[3] while the second born, Agatha Ellen, married in 1863.[4] Franklyn also had at least one son, George Arden, by wife Mary June, who died in Meerut, Bengal in 1852 at the age of 23.[5]

Franklyn served as the "chief magistrate", or mayor, of Bristol from 1841 to 1842.[6][7] His brother, James Norroway Franklyn, held the office from 1839 to 1840.[2][8]

Franklyn was first elected Conservative MP for Poole in 1852 and held the seat until 1865,[9] when he did not seek re-election.[10]

In 1854, Franklyn was almost killed but narrowly escaped injury by cannon-fire set off near the Forest-hill railway station, Sydenham.[11]

In 1855, Franklyn served as president of The Gloucestershire Society,[12]Шаблон:Rp a charitable organization established in 1657.[12]Шаблон:Rp
