About Owen Jones Ellis Nanney
Lived 1790 – 1870 (aged 80). Owen Jones Ellis Nanney was a Welsh soldier and politician.
Major Owen Jones Ellis Nanney (27 September 1790 - 27 October 1870) was a Welsh politician, who very briefly represented Carnarvon Boroughs in Parliament in 1833.
He was born Owen Jones, and adopted the Ellis Nanney (or Ellis-Nanney) surnames on inheriting an estate from his uncle. Nanney brought an election petition challenging some of the votes, which was found in his favour on 6 March, and he took his seat on 8 March. However, a counter-petition was then brought, alleging that the votes were indeed valid. After scrutiny, Paget was again declared elected on 22 May, and Nanney lost his seat.
He contested Carnarvon Boroughs in the 1835 general election, but was unsuccessful.
His only son, Hugh Ellis-Nanney (1845–1920), ran for Parliament unsuccessfully on a number of occasions, and was created a baronet in 1897.
