Edward VANSITTART (1769-1850) was the second son of George VANSITTART (1743-1825), MP of Bisham Abbey Buckinghamshire, by Sarah STONEHOUSE daughter of Sir John STONEHOUSE (1716-1795) by Anne NEALE the eldest daughter of John NEALE (1687-1746), of Allesley Park Warwickshire MP for Coventry by Frances POPE of Oswestry.
