Unsuccessful Candidates

This is a list of unsuccessful candidates who went to a poll in this period, omitting those who were returned to the House at some point during it. Constituencies and general election year dates are supplied; by-elections are in brackets. The names daggered are those of Members who sat before 1820; names asterisked are those of Members returned for the first time in or after 1832. Life dates have been supplied where possible, but every effort has been made to identify these men in the text of the relevant constituency histories. One name (Shewell) has been italicized because doubts remain as to his identity.
