Francis Pigott Stainsby Conant (1810 – 21 January 1863)[1] was a British Whig politician who became the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man from 23 October 1860 until his sudden death in 1863. His family home was in Hampshire, England.[2]
Career
Conant had previously been a Member of Parliament (MP) for Reading for thirteen years.[1] Having won the seat from the Conservatives at the 1847 general election, he was re-elected three times before resigning his seat in 1860 when he was appointed to the Isle of Man.[3]
The addition of "Stainsby" and "Conant" to Francis Pigott's name[4] came during his lifetime as a result of a chain of wills/inheritances from other individuals who were close to the Pigott family and had no descendants. This included 38 acres (150,000 m2) of land in Limehouse and Poplar, London; the family's names are commemorated in property names in that area including Pigott Street, Stainsby Road and Conant House.[2]
He married Frances Phillips Wilder; they had eight children.[5]
