Edward Almer
Edward Almer or Aylmer (by 1516-1574 or later), of Denbigh and Gresford, Denbighshire, was a Welsh politician.
He was a younger son of John Almer of Almer, Denbighshire, a sergeant-at-arms at the court of Henry VIII.
He was a Justice of the Peace for Denbighshire from 1543 to his death and was appointed High Sheriff of Denbighshire for 1552-53, 1557–58 and 1570-71. He was elected a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Denbighshire in 1555.
He transferred the family seat from Almer to Pant Iocyn (now Pant-yr-Ochain), a house he rebuilt between Gresford and Wrexham using materials salvaged from his previous home.[1]
He married Dorothy, the daughter of Sir George Calverley of Lea, Cheshire and widow of Robert Bostock of Churton, Cheshire. They had 5 sons and 3 daughters. He was succeeded by his eldest son, William Almer, also MP for Denbighshire.
