Usborne in 1895.

Thomas Usborne (30 May 1840 – 7 June 1915)[1] was an English Conservative Party politician. He was born in Limerick and studied successively at Harrow School and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he obtained an MA degree.[2]

He was elected to the House of Commons as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Chelmsford Division of Essex at an unopposed by-election in 1892, following the death of the sitting MP William Beadel. Usborne was re-elected at the general election in July 1892, and held the seat until he stood down at the 1900 general election.[3] His son, also called Thomas, was a first-class cricketer.
