John Charles Ramsden

John Charles Ramsden (30 April 1788 – 29 December 1836) was a British Whig and Liberal Party politician from Newby Park in Yorkshire. He sat in the House of Commons between 1812 and 1836.

He was a younger son of Sir John Ramsden, 4th Baronet (1755–1839), the Member of Parliament (MP) for Grampound, and his wife Hon. Louisa Susan Ingram-Shepheard (c.1766–1857), daughter of the 9th Viscount of Irvine. On 4 May 1814 he married Isabella Dundas (1790–1887), daughter of Thomas Dundas, 1st Baron Dundas of Aske and Lady Charlotte FitzWilliam. Isabella's maternal grandfather was William Fitzwilliam, 3rd Earl Fitzwilliam, and her uncle was William Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam, a leading Whig politician and one of the richest people in Britain.

At the 1812 general election, Ramsden was elected as one of the two MPs for borough of Malton. He was re-elected at the next four general elections, and held the seat until 1831. At the 1831 general election he was elected as one of the four MPs for the Yorkshire county constituency. He was appointed as a Deputy Lieutenant of Yorkshire in May 1831, and held his seat in Parliament until the constituency was divided by the Reform Act 1832, and at the general election in December 1832 he unsuccessfully contested the new North Riding of Yorkshire constituency.
