William Cunliffe Lister

William Cunliffe Lister was a British Whig politician, and barrister.
Born in Addingham, Yorkshire, Lister was the son of Ellis Cunliffe Lister—who, between 1832 and 1841, was a Whig Member of Parliament for Bradford—and Mary née Kay.
First educated at Charterhouse School, in 1825 he was then admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1831, before being called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1834.
He followed his father into politics, becoming a Whig MP for the same constituency when his father retired at the 1841 general election, but died, unmarried, just over a month later.
