Biography
Brunner was the eldest son[1] of industrialist Sir John Tomlinson Brunner. On 8 September 1890 John got into difficulties whilst swimming in Lake Como, Italy. He was rescued by his younger brother, Sidney Herbert Brunner, who died in the process. Sidney's body was found on 10 September and buried beside the lake the next day.
Career
John was elected at the 1906 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Leigh in Lancashire, serving on the Liberal benches with his father, MP for Northwich in Cheshire.
When his father retired from Parliament at the January 1910 election, he was elected to succeed him as MP for Northwich, and held the seat until his defeat at the 1918 general election. On his father's death in 1919, he succeeded to the baronetcy.
He unsuccessfully contested the Southport seat at the 1922 general election, and won it at the 1923 general election, but was defeated again at the 1924 general election.
He stood again at the 1928 Cheltenham by-election, but came a poor second in the Conservative safe seat.
Marriage and family
He married Lucy Marianne Vaughan Morgan (1871–1941), daughter of Octavius Vaughan Morgan (1837–1896), and granddaughter of Thomas Morgan of Pipton, near Glasbury, Breconshire (1796–1847). Their daughter Joyce Morgan Brunner married Sir William Worsley, 4th Baronet, and their granddaughter Katharine married Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, thereby becoming Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Kent. Their son Felix succeeded as the 3rd baronet upon the death of Sir John, age 63.[2]
