 | Surname | Wilmot | | | Given name(s) | John Eardley | | | Place | Hobart Town  | | | Year | 1847 | | | month | Mar | | | day | 3 | | | Register Entry | At Hobart Town on the 3rd March Sir John Eardley Wilmot Baronet late Lieutenant-Governor of Van Dieman's Land - Sir Eardley Wilmot represented a branch of the Derbyshire family of Wilmot of Ormaston and was a descendant from the ancient house of Eardley of Audeley in Staffordshire. He was grandson of the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas who twice refused the Great Seal as Lord Chancellor with a peerage. Sir Eardley Wilmot was born in 1783 and was twice married : first to Elizabeth Parry daughter of C H Parry Esq a celebrated physician at Bath and secondly in 1819 to Elizabeth eldest daughter of Sir Robert Chester of Bush Hall in Hertfordshire. In politics Sir Eardley Wilmot was of the moderate Tory party and was returned by the Liberal interest for the country of Warwick. Early in 1843 Sir Eardley Wilmot received the appointment of Lieutenant Governor of Van Dieman's Land and was superseded in his appointment by Charles Joseph Latrobe Esq who arrived on the 13th October 1846 as administrator of the Government. The cause of Sir Eardley's death is stated to have been complete exhaustion of the frame - a decay of nature. This melancholy event subduing all private and party animosity has called forth the usual demonstrations of regret. We believe it was his expressed wish previously to his decease that his remains should be conveyed to England to be be placed in the family ' resting place'.
