Thomas Lister, 2nd Baron Ribblesdale (23 January 1790 – 10 December 1832) was an English Peer of the Realm. [1] [2]
Lister was the son of Thomas Lister, 1st Baron Ribblesdale, and Rebecca Feilding. [2] [3] He attended Westminster School from 1800 to 1804 [4] and matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford on 2 November 1807. [5]
In February 1826 he married his second cousin, Adelaide, the daughter of Thomas Lister (1772–1828) of Armitage Park, Staffordshire. They had four children: Thomas, born 1828; Adelaide, born 1827; Isabel, born 1830; and Elizabeth, born 1833 (after Lister had died). [2] He succeeded to the barony on 22 September 1826 [1] following the death of his father. He resided at the family estate of Gisburne Park. [6]
In the House of Lords Lister was a supporter of Conservative principles. [6] In October 1831 he voted against the Reform Bill. [6] The result of the vote led to riots across England. Lister had to summon troops from Burnley barracks and arm his own tenants to protect his Gisburne Park estate. [7] In April 1832 he was one of ten peers who had previously voted against the bill but abstained in the subsequent vote. [8] He died later that year at Leamington following a ruptured artery. [9]
His four-year-old son Thomas succeeded to the barony, becoming the youngest Peer of the Realm. [6] His widow, Adelaide, married John Russell, 1st Earl Russell in 1835; she died in 1838. [2]
