Sir Henry George Ward GCMG (1797–1860) was an English diplomat and politician. The son of politician and, in his retirement, writer Robert Ward (who in 1828 changed his surname by sign manual to Plumer Ward) and his first wife Catherine Julia Maling, he entered the diplomatic service in 1816. He was charge d'affaires in Mexico from 1825 to 1827 and published two books about his travels there (illustrated by his wife Emily Elizabeth Swinburne). In 1832, he was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for St Albans, sitting for that seat until 1837, and then for Sheffield from 1837 to 1849.[1] He was First Secretary of the Admiralty from 1846 to 1849, Lord High Commissioner to the Ionian Islands from 1849 to 1855, and on 11 May 1855 he became governor of Ceylon. He succeeded Sir Charles Trevelyan as Governor of Madras in June, 1860 but served in that capacity only for a few weeks until his death from cholera on 30 June 1860. He is buried in St. Mary's Church, Madras. His eldest son, Dudley Ward, became a judge in New Zealand. References ^ Craig, F. W. S. (1989) [1977].
