Sir Henry Osborne, 11th Baronet (1759 – 27 October 1837), was an Irish baronet and politician.

Biography

The fourth (but second surviving) son of the Rt. Hon. Sir William Osborne, 8th Baronet and wife Elizabeth Christmas, he succeeded in the baronetcy upon his nephew's death on 23 May 1824.[1] Henry Osborne was elected to the Irish House of Commons as Member of Parliament for Carysfort in 1798 and for Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, in 1800. He voted against the Act of Union in 1799 in order to retain Irish independence from Great Britain and, reputedly refusing government bribes, voted against it again in 1800 when the legislation was finally enacted.[2]
