Hansard

I emailed Hansard:

  • The wikipedia article implies that Charles Gilpin (1815-1874) was extremely active in the Commons (MP for Northampton March 27, 1857 - September 8, 1874).
  • Your record appears to be very incomplete:
    • First recorded, on July 13, 1857 SUPPLY—MISCELLANEOUS ESTIMATES. Commons
    • By year, 3 in total: 1857
    • Last recorded, on July 21, 1857 LEAVE. Commons
  • Can anything be done to improve this? I would like to recommend that the _Dictionary of National Biography_ write an article on him and evidence of his Parliamentary activity would be valuable.
