Henry Grey

Henry Grey (17 August 1683 – 9 September 1740) was a British Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1709 and 1740.

Grey was born as Henry Neville, the younger son of Richard Neville of Billingbear House in Berkshire and his wife Katherine Grey, daughter of Ralph Grey, 2nd Baron Grey of Werke. He travelled abroad in Holland, Germany, Italy and France between 1699 and 1700. In 1707, he changed his surname to Grey by a private act of Parliament, (6 Ann. c. 2 ) to inherit the estates of his uncle Ralph Grey, 4th Baron Grey of Werke, in Northumberland.

Grey returned to Parliament as MP for Wallingford at a by-election on 1 December 1719. At the 1722 British general election he was defeated at Berkshire, but was returned at a by-election on 11 March 1723 for Berwick-upon-Tweed, where his brother Grey Neville held the other seat. When his brother died later in 1723, he inherited his brother's estate of Billingbear House. He was returned at the 1734 British general election for Reading.

Grey married Elizabeth Griffin, daughter of James Griffin, 2nd Baron Griffin of Braybrooke in 1720, but they had no children. He died on 9 September 1740.
