Biography
George Lynch-Staunton is Notable.
George, the son of Francis Lynch-Staunton and Victoria Corbett was born about 1859. He was educated at St. Mary's College in Montreal and Upper Canada College in Toronto. He became a lawyer based in Hamilton, Ontario. Around 1888, he married Eloise Taylor from Brooklyn, New York. They had one child, a girl, who appears to have passed away young. Eloise also passed away around the age of 30 in 1890, leaving George a widower. He then married Emily Adelaide Constance Dewar on 19 Jun 1895 in Hamilton, Ontario. She was the daughter of Plummer Dewar and Emily Hopton Scoble. [1]
George served as chairman of the Transcontinental Railway Investigation Commission from 1911 to 1913. He was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden in January 1917 and sat as a Conservative. [2]
