William WyndhamJPDL (1796–1862), sometimes numbered William Wyndham V, was a Wiltshirelandowner and Member of Parliament.
Dinton House, now Philipps House
He was the eldest son of another William Wyndham (1769–1841), by his marriage in 1794 to Laetitia Popham, a daughter of Alexander Popham, a Master in Chancery. His father was a descendant of Sir Wadham Wyndham (died 1668).[1]
Wyndham was educated at Harrow and Christ Church, Oxford, and was commissioned into the Wiltshire Yeomanry.[2] In 1831 he married Ellen Heathcote, the eldest daughter of the Rev. Samuel Heathcote, of Bramshaw Hill, Hampshire.[1] They had eight children, William (1834), Edmund (1835), Ellen (1836), Arthur (1837), Wadham (1838–1847), Hugh (1839), Thomas Heathcote (1845), and Laetitia.[3]
When he died in 1862, he left most of his property to his eldest son, William Wyndham (1834–1914).[1] The Devizes and Wiltshire Gazette said in a short obituary that he was "a fine specimen of the old English type of gentleman... a thorough sportsman, and a man truly respected and beloved by all who knew him."[4]
