Sir George Bowyer, 6th Baronet

Sir George Bowyer, 6th Baronet and 2nd Baronet (3 March 1783 – 1 July 1860) was a British Whig politician.
He was the son of Admiral Sir George Bowyer, 5th Baronet and his second wife Henrietta Brett, daughter of Admiral Sir Piercy Brett , and was born at Radley Hall in Berkshire. In 1799, he succeeded his father as baronet. Bowyer was educated at Christ Church College, Oxford, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1804 and a Master of Arts in 1807. 
Bowyer was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Malmesbury from 1807 to 1810 and then for Abingdon from 1811 to 1818. In 1815, financial difficulties forced him to sell the contents of Radley Hall. As a consequence, he moved with his family to Italy and finally converted to Roman Catholic in 1850.
On 19 November 1808, he married Anne Hammond Douglas, oldest daughter of Captain Sir Andrew Snape Douglas. They had three sons and a daughter. Bowyer died at Dresden in Germany, but was buried at Radley. He was succeeded in both baronetcies successively by his sons George and William.
