Edward Hugessen Knatchbull-Hugessen (1829-1893), son of Sir Edward Knatchbull, 9thBt, was a Liberal politician who served as Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department in 1866 and again from 1868 to 1871, and also Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1871 to 1874. He, who was elevated to the peerage as Baron Brabourne in 1880, was married twice; first in 1852 to Anna Maria Elizabeth Southwell (1829-1889), by whom he had four children; and second in 1890 to Ethel Mary Walker (d. 1929), by whom he had two children.
