Notes for Sir Robert Nicholas FOWLER 1st Bart
From Wikipedia

Sir Robert Nicholas Fowler, 1st Baronet DL JP (born 12 September 1828, in Tottenham, Middlesex, son of Thomas Fowler of Gastard, Wiltshire,[1] died 22 May 1891, Harley Street, London)[2] He attended Tottenham High School and London University where he was awarded a B.A. degree in 1848. He was a banker, M.P. for the Penryn and Falmouth Constituency, 1868–1874, Conservative M.P. for the City of London Constituency, 1880–1891, and Lord Mayor of London in 1883-84 and in 1885. He was created a Baronet in 1885. On 27 October 1852 he married Sarah Charlotte Fox, daughter of Alfred Fox. She was born 1834 and died in 1876. He was the author of A visit to Japan, China and India .

According to Frank Harris, an admittedly unreliable source, Fowler excited the disgust of his fellow guests at a dinner given by William Thackeray Marriott by breaking wind copiously, and being apparently unconscious of giving offence.

In 1890, Fowler was described as "of Gastard, Wilts., a JP and DL for Middlesex and Wilts, an Alderman of London".
