About Peter Pole

Lived 1770 – 1850 (aged 79). Peter Pole was a British politician and banker.

Sir Peter Pole, 2nd Baronet (1770–1850) was an English banker and politician, Member of Parliament for Yarmouth, Isle of Wight from 1819 to 1826.

Life He was the eldest son of Sir Charles Pole, 1st Baronet of Wolverton (originally Charles Van Notten), a London banker, and his wife Millicent Pole, daughter of Charles Pole (1695–1779). His paternal grandfather Charles Van Notten (1702–1750) of Amsterdam moved to London in 1720 and married Susanna Bosanquet.

Sir Peter Pole succeeded his father in 1813. He and his brother Charles had worked in the family Van Notten Bank of Devonshire Square, Bishopsgate since 1795, and the bank came to trade as Peter and Charles Van Notten and Co. In 1815, Pole became a partner in another bank, Down, Thornton & Free of Birchin Lane off Lombard Street.

Sir Peter Pole & Co acted as the London agents for a number of provincial or country banks. The Bath bank Cavenagh, Browne, Bayly & Browne went bankrupt in the banking crisis that followed Pole suspending payments in 1825.

Family Pole married in 1798 Anna Guilhelmina Buller, whose Portuguese middle name is variously spelled.
