Biography
Edward (Reid) Fenwick MP JP is Notable.
Edward Matthew Fenwick was the M.P. for Lancaster between 1864 & 1866 when Lancaster was disfranchised (Rotten Borough) for bribery & corruption, thus the sitting members William Schneider & Edward Matthew Fenwick were unseated after a long & exhaustive inquiry.
Fenwick was the second son of Edward James and Caroline (née Cuddon) Reid. At some point he changed his name by Royal Licence from Reid to Fenwick. In 1841, he married Sarah Fenwick Bowen, daughter of Thomas Fenwick, and they had at least two children:
