For his son, see Edward Portman, 1st Viscount Portman.

Edward Berkeley Portman (31 January 1771 – 19 January 1823, Rome) was an 18th-century housing developer and politician. He was the son of Henry Portman, and ultimately a descendant of the Tudor landowner Sir William Portman. Edward continued his father's work developing the family lands in London into the Portman Estate. He also sat as Member of Parliament for Boroughbridge between 1802 and 1806[1] and for Dorset between 1806 and 1823.[2]

Marriage and issue

On 21 August 1798, he married Lucy Whitby, daughter of Reverend Thomas Whitby. Their children were:

  • Marianne Portman, married George Drummond (son of George Harley Drummond and Margaret Munro) in 1831, died 1 December 1842
  • Edward Berkley Portman, 1st Viscount Portman (1799–1888)
  • Reverend Henry Fitzharding Berkeley Portman (1811–1893)

After Lucy's death in 1812, he married as his second wife Mary Hulse, daughter of Sir Edward Hulse, 3rd Baronet Hulse, on 22 March 1816. The couple had no children.
