Edward Coke (1758–1837)
Edward Coke (1758–1837), born Edward Roberts, was a British politician and landowner.
Edward was the second son of Wenman Coke and younger brother of Thomas Coke, the celebrated "Coke of Norfolk" and later Earl of Leicester. He was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1819.[1]
He married Grace Colhoun in 1792, and they had three children:
- Thomas William Coke (born 1793)
- Edward Ralph Coke (born 1795)
- Eliza Grace Coke (born 1797), married Henry Venables-Vernon, son of Henry Venables-Vernon, 3rd Baron Vernon
His principal interests were in Derbyshire, where he lived at Longford Hall, and he was Member of Parliament for Derby from 1780 until 1817, with a brief interruption in 1807 to substitute for his brother in Norfolk.[2]
