About Sir William Verner, 2nd Baronet

Lived 1822 – 1873 (aged 50–51). Sir William Verner, 2nd Baronet was a politician.

Sir William Verner, 2nd Baronet (4 April 1822 – 10 January 1873), was a British soldier and Conservative Party politician.

Sir William Verner was the son of Sir William Verner, 1st Baronet, and of Harriet Wingfield, daughter of Colonel Edward Wingfield, who was the younger son of The 3rd Viscount Powerscourt. Their children included William, Edith and Alice Emily (died 1908). Alice married firstly Christopher Nevile Bagot of Augharne Castle, County Galway, who died in 1877, having by his last will disinherited their son William, a decision which led to the celebrated probate case Bagot v. Bagot, in which Alice successfully defended her son's rights. She married, secondly, Major Reginald Roberts.

He was Member of Parliament for County Armagh between 1868 and 1873.
