William Aislabie (governor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Aislabie (3 December 1671 – 10 November 1725) was a British governor of the Bombay Presidency during the days of the East India Company.[1]
Aislabie was the fifth son of George Aislabie, of Studley Royal, and brother of John Aislabie.[2][3] He was deputy Governor from 1704, following the death of John Burniston.[4] He assumed the post of Governor in September 1708 and left office on 11 October 1715.[5] He served as Member of Parliament for Ripon from the end of 1719 to 1722.[1]
At the end of his life, his brother John Aislabie bought the Waverley Abbey estate from the Coldham family and set about building a house there for him. Unfortunately William died around the time the house was ready and the Waverley estate was sold.
