William Handcock (Westmeath politician)
William Handcock (c. 1631 – c. 1 July 1707)[1] was an Irish politician.
Originally from Lancashire, Handcock entered the Irish House of Commons in 1661, holding his seat for Westmeath until 1666.[1] He was then appointed to the Council of Connaught and in 1680, he received a grant to erect a manor in Twyford, Westmeath.[2] Handcock represented Athlone from 1692 until 1699 and sat in the following parliament again for Westmeath from 1703 until his death in 1707.[1]
On 25 July 1652, he married Abigail Stanley, daughter of Sir Thomas Stanley and sister of Thomas Stanley.[3] His sons William and Thomas sat also in the Parliament of Ireland.[3]
