Thomas Style was born in 1797, a younger son of Sir Charles Style, 6th Baronet. His elder brother, also Thomas Style, succeeded their father as the 7th Baronet in 1804, and died on active service with the Grenadier Guards during the Peninsular War in 1813. [1] He was educated at the Royal Naval Academy, [1] but later entered the Army, purchasing a commission as a cornet in the 19th Light Dragoons in 1816. [2] He later became a magistrate, deputy-lieutenant, and later high sheriff for County Donegal, where the family had its estates. [1] He married Isabella Cayley, daughter of the engineer George Cayley, in 1822. [1]

He was elected to represent Scarborough in the 1837 general election, and stood down in 1841. He was a unionist and reformer, supporting extended suffrage and shorter Parliaments. [3]

Sir Thomas died at his residence in Sydney Place, Bath, in 1879, where he had lived for some years, and was active in local Liberal politics. [1] He left an estate valued at just below £60,000, with most of it left to his widow for her lifetime, and then to his cousin Henry Marsham Style, who had inherited the baronetcy. [4]
