Bowyer

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 2: Beaugency to Cataract, p. 375

Bowyer, SIR GEORGE, born in 1811 at Radley, near Oxford, in 1839 was called to the bar. Converted to Catholicism in 1850, he represented Dundalk 1852-68, and the county of Wexford 1874-80, when his Home Rule principles estranged him from the Liberal party, and in 1876 led to his expulsion from the Reform Club. He succeeded his father as seventh baronet in 1860, and died suddenly in London, 7th June 1883. He was author of several able works on constitutional law and Catholic subjects.
