Sir John Robert Mowbray, 1st BaronetPC (3 June 1815 – 22 April 1899), known as John Cornish until 1847, was a British Conservative politician and long-serving Member of Parliament, eventually serving as Father of the House.
In 1847 he married Elizabeth Mowbray, the sole heiress of George Isaac Mowbray of Bishopwearmouth. The same year he assumed by royal licence the surname Mowbray in lieu of his patronymic to reflect the large fortune into which he married. They had three sons, all of whom succeeded to their father's baronetcy, and two daughters:[1]
