Who was John Neilson Gladstone?

Captain John Neilson Gladstone was a politician in the United Kingdom and an officer in the Royal Navy.

He was the fourth child of Sir John Gladstone, a Scottish-born businessman who settled in Liverpool and made a large fortune initially from trading in corn with the United States and cotton with Brazil, and later through sugar plantations in Jamaica. His mother was Anne MacKenzie née Robertson, from Dingwall. His younger brother was the British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone, and his elder brother Thomas was also a Member of Parliament.

He was MP for Walsall from February to June 1841, for Ipswich from 1842 to 1847, and for Devizes from 1852 to 1857.
