Conway Richard Dobbs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conway Richard Dobbs (1795 – 28 February 1886) was an Irish politician.

Dobbs lived at Acton House in County Armagh, and served as a lieutenant in the Royal Navy. He stood in Carrickfergus at the 1832 UK general election, and was elected as a Tory. However, an election petition was raised, and he was unseated, and the seat remained unfilled until the next general election.[1]

In 1841, Dobbs served as Sheriff of Antrim.[1] He was placed on the naval reserve list in 1851 and retired as a commander in 1864.[2]
