Edit Profile
Career
He was elected to the Irish House of Commons for Tuam in 1798, a seat he held until 1800. He then exchanged the two seats he controlled in this borough with the government in return for £8,000 and a peerage. Consequently, in July 1800 Bingham was elevated to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Clanmorris, of Newbrook in the County of Mayo.
Lord Bingham married the Honorary
Anna Maria, daughter of Barry Yelverton, 1st Viscount Avonmore, in 1791. Lady Clanmorris died in 1865.
