Colonel Nicholas Bayly (1749 – 7 June 1812) was a British soldier and Member of Parliament.[1]
Background
Born in 1749, Bayly was the third son of Sir Nicholas Bayly, 2nd Baronet, and Caroline, daughter of Brigadier-General Thomas Paget.[1][2] He was the younger brother of Henry Bayly-Paget, 1st Earl of Uxbridge, and the uncle of Henry Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey. The family seat was Plas Newydd.[3][4]
Military and political career
Bayly was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the 1st Foot Guards and after he had begun his political career he was appointed Colonel of the part-time Royal West Middlesex Militia (a regiment in which several of his family also served) on 15 April 1788.[5] He was returned to parliament for Anglesey in 1784, a seat he held until 1790. He was succeeded as MP by his nephew William Paget.[1]
