Sir John Frederick, 5th Baronet (1750–1825), was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1774 and 1807.
Frederick was the son of Sir John Frederick, 4th Baronet of Burwood Park, Surrey and his wife Susanna Hudson.[1] He was born on 18 March 1750, educated at Westminster School from 1760 to 1765 and at Trinity College, Oxford in 1767. From 1769 to 1772 he made the Grand Tour of Europe.[2]
In 1774 Frederick was returned as Member of Parliament for Newport, Cornwall in the interest of Humphry Morice. He married Mary Garth, daughter of Richard Garth of Morden, Surrey on 15 October 1778. By 1780 Morice had sold his borough and Frederick was not returned in 1780. He sought another seat and was returned for Christchurch at a by-election in 1781. On the death of his father on 9 April 1783 he succeeded to the Baronetcy. He was re-elected for Christchurch again in 1784. In 1790 he was elected MP for his home county Surrey and held the seat until 1807. [2]
