Sir Thomas John Tyrwhitt-Jones, 2nd Baronet (12 July 1793 – 5 October 1839) of Stanley Hall, Shropshire, was a British politician.
Tyrwhitt-Jones was born on 12 July 1793 at Portland Place, Middlesex. [1] He was the eldest son of Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt-Jones, 1st Baronet and Harriet Rebecca Williams (daughter of Edward Williams of Eaton Mascott, Shropshire). [2] His brother, Charles Tyrwhitt-Jones, married Emily Halliday (a granddaughter of the 3rd Earl of Aldborough), [3] and his sister, Harriet Emma, was the first wife of John Mytton [4]
His paternal grandparents were Capt. John Tyrwhitt, of the Royal Navy, of Netherclay House, Bishop's Hull, and the former Katherine Booth (only child and heiress of the Very Rev. Peniston Booth, Dean of Windsor). [3]
He was educated at Charles Lloyd's school at Peterley House, Great Missenden from 1802 to 1804 followed by Eton from 1805 to 1808. He attended Christ Church, Oxford. [2]
Upon the death of his father on 24 November 1811, Thomas succeeded as the 2nd Baronet Tyrwhitt-Jones, of Stanley Hall, Shropshire. [2] He served as High Sheriff of Shropshire from 1816 to 1817. [2]
In 1818 he was returned as a Tory for Bridgnorth, the borough closest to his residence, under the guidance of Isaac Hawkins Browne, a former Bridgnorth MP. He took a leave of absence for a month beginning in March 1819 and then retired in 1820, instead of facing a contested race. [2]
After his time in the House, he "devoted himself to the life of a benevolent country gentleman" and rebuilt his father's estate, Stanley Hall in the popular Tudor style. [2] [5]
On 13 June 1821, Sir Thomas was married to Eliza Walwyn Macnamara, the youngest daughter of John Macnamara of Saint Kitts, West Indies. Together, they were the parents of four sons and three daughters, including: [2]
Sir Thomas died at Stanley Hall on 5 October 1839 and was buried in the Jones' vault at St. Alkmund's, Shrewsbury. [1] He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son, Henry. [3]

Baron Berners is a barony created by writ in the Peerage of England.
Earl of Bradford is a title that has been created twice, once in the Peerage of England and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was first created in 1694 for Francis Newport, 2nd Baron Newport. However, all the Newport titles became extinct on the death of the fourth Earl in 1762. The earldom was revived in 1815 for Orlando Bridgeman, 2nd Baron Bradford. The Bridgeman family had previously succeeded to the Newport estates. The title of the peerage refers to the ancient hundred of Bradford in Shropshire, and not, as might be assumed, to the city of Bradford, Yorkshire, or the town of Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire.
Baron Stanley of Alderley, in the County of Chester, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1839 for the politician and landowner Sir John Stanley, 7th Baronet.
Baron Hylton is a title that has been created twice, once in the Peerage of England and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The first creation came in the Peerage of England 1295 when Robert Hylton was summoned to the Model Parliament as Lord Hylton by writ. His son, Alexander, was called to Parliament in 1332 and 1335, but no further summons were sent for his descendants. Therefore, the title has only been held de jure after the death of the second baron. Indeed, the last baron was Member of Parliament for Carlisle after "inheriting" the title, due to this anomaly. Despite this, the creation is deemed to have fallen into abeyance on the death of the eighteenth baron without male heirs in 1746.
William George Hylton Jolliffe, 1st Baron Hylton, known as Sir William Jolliffe, Bt, between 1821 and 1866, was a British soldier and Conservative politician.
