James Clifton Brown JP (13 February 1841 – 5 January 1917)[1] was a British Liberal Party[1] Member of Parliament (MP). He was the second son of Alexander Brown and his wife Sarah Benedict Brown, daughter of James Brown.[2] His paternal grandfather was the banker and merchant Sir William Brown, 1st Baronet, and his younger brother the Liberal politician Sir Alexander Brown, 1st Baronet.[3] Brown was educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he graduated with a Master of Arts.[4] He was elected to the House of Commons at a by-election in 1876 for Horsham in Sussex, and held the seat until his defeat at the 1880 general election.[5][1] Brown served as lieutenant-colonel of the 1st Lancashire Royal Garrison Artillery[2] and on his retirement in 1884, was granted the rank of an honorary colonel of the 2nd Brigade, Lancashire Division.[6] He was a Justice of the Peace[3] and in 1888, he was appointed High Sheriff of Sussex.[2] On 21 March 1866, he married Amelia Rowe, daughter of Charles Rowe.[7] They had ten children, four daughters and six sons.[7] His eldest son Howard represented the same constituency as his father,[5] and his fifth son Douglas was later elevated to the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[8] One of his grandsons, Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, followed him into Parliament, and his great-great-grandson, also Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, is currently serving in Parliament.[9] References1. ^1 {{Cite book|last=Craig |first=F.
