Early life

[edit]

Rendlesham was born into an English family of Huguenot descent on 6 January 1798. He was the third son and fourth child of Peter Thellusson, 1st Baron Rendlesham, and Elizabeth Eleanor Cornwall (a daughter of John Cornwall, a Russia merchant of Hendon, Middlesex).[1] Among his siblings were John Thellusson, 2nd Baron Rendlesham (who died without male issue),[2] Hon.

Career

[edit]

Rendlesham succeeded his elder twin brother in the barony in 1839.[9] As this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to an automatic seat in the House of Lords. He was instead elected to the House of Commons as Member of Parliament (MP) for Suffolk East at a by-election in 1843, a seat he held until his death nine years later.[10]

Personal life

[edit]

On 5 June 1838, Thellusson married Elizabeth Eleanor, Lady Duff (née Prescott), widow of General Sir James Duff.
