Francis Thackeray
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Francis Thackeray (1793–1842) was a Church of England clergyman and author.
Thackeray was the sixth son of William Makepeace Thackeray (1749-1813), and uncle to William Makepeace Thackeray the novelist. Educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge,[1] he was curate of Broxbourne, Hertfordshire. Macaulay criticized his History of William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham for its uncritical praise of Pitt.[2]
