Charles Strickland Standish (March 1790 – 10 June 1863)[1] was a British Whig politician.[2][3]
Standish was first elected a Whig Member of Parliament for Wigan at the 1837 general election where he served as a representative for the constituency. He held the seat until 1841 when he was defeated in an electoral contest. However, after an election petition unseated Thomas Bright Crosse, he was re-elected for the Wigan constituency, resuming his role as a Member of Parliament. He continued to serve until 1847, when he did not seek re-election[4][3]marking the conclusion of his parliamentary career.
Standish was Lord of the manor of Standish, in Lancashire.
