Sir Robert Uniacke-Penrose-Fitzgerald, 1st Baronet of Lisquinlan and Corkbeg (10 July 1839 – 10 July 1919), was a British Conservative politician.

Early life

Fitzgerald was the son of Robert Uniacke Penrose (1800 – 11 June 1857) of Corkbeg House, County Cork. He was educated at Westminster School and Trinity Hall, Cambridge.[2] His sister was the writer Geraldine Penrose Fitzgerald. He rowed at Cambridge and won the University Pairs with J. P. Ingham in 1860. He rowed in the Cambridge boat in the Boat Race in 1861 and 1862 when Oxford won in both years.[3] After university he travelled in India and Tibet from 1863 to 1867.

Political career

Fitzgerald was elected to the House of Commons for Cambridge in the 1885 general election, a seat he held until the 1906 election.[4] In 1896, he adopted the name Uniacke-Penrose-Fitzgerald and was created a baronet, of Lisquinlan in the parish of Ightermurrough and of Corkbeg Island in the parish of Corkbeg both in the County of Cork.[5] He owned about 6,000 acres (2,428 ha) in County Cork and was director of the Property Defence Association and Cork Defence Union against Land League. He was also president of the Council of the Yacht Racing Association.[citation needed]

Personal life

Fitzgerald married Jane Emily Codrington, daughter of General Sir William Codrington, in 1867. They had no children.

Uniacke-Penrose-Fitzgerald died at Westminster in 1919 on his eightieth birthday, when the baronetcy became extinct. Lady Jane Uniacke-Penrose-Fitzgerald died in 1924.
