Frederick George Howard

Frederick George Howard (8 June 1805 – 18 November 1834) was a British politician.

The second son of George Howard, Howard served as a captain in the 90th Regiment of Foot.[1] He stood in the 1832 UK general election in Morpeth. He won election as a Whig, and focused on free trade and the abolition of monopolies.[2]

In 1834, Howard was travelling in a curricle near Bagnalstown, when the horse bolted. He attempted to jump clear of the vehicle, but hit his head hard and died.[1]
