Jervoise Clarke Jervoise (Yarmouth MP)

(Redirected from Jervoise Clarke Jervoise (died 1808)) Not to be confused with Sir Jervoise Clarke-Jervoise, 2nd Baronet.

Jervoise Clarke Jervoise (born Clarke; 27 April 1734 – 5 January 1808) was an English Whig Member of Parliament (MP) who sat in the House of Commons of Great Britain and subsequently the House of Commons of the United Kingdom for most of the years from 1768 to 1808.

Jervoise Clarke was the son of Samuel Clarke of Bloomsbury, London, and his wife, Mary Elizabeth. He was entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1751.

At the 1768 general election he was returned as a member of parliament (MP) for Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, but was unseated on petition the following year. He was returned for Yarmouth at the 1774 general election, and in 1777 he took the additional surname Jervoise. He held the Yarmouth seat until he resigned in 1779 to stand at a by-election in Hampshire. He won the seat, and was re-elected in 1784, but was defeated at the 1790 general election.

He was returned to the Commons the following year at a by-election for Yarmouth, and held the seat until his death in 1808.
