Stratford Canning, 1st Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe
Stratford Canning, 1st Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe KG GCB PC (4 November 1786 – 14 August 1880), was a British diplomat and politician, best known as the longtime British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. A descendant of the historic Stratford Family〔The Peerage entry and tree for (Stratford Canning, 1st Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe )〕 and cousin of George Canning, he was Envoy Extraordinary and Minister-Plenipotentiary to the United States between 1820 and 1824 and held his first appointment as Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire between 1825 and 1828. He intermittently represented several constituencies in parliament between 1828 and 1842. In 1841 he was once again appointed Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, a position he held for the next 17 years. Canning came to be seen as one of the leading figures in Istanbul, as British influence over the Porte increased and the Turks came to be seen more and more as British clients. In 1852 he was elevated to the peerage as Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, probably in reference to his supposed descent from the great 15th century merchant family of Canynges of Redcliffe near Bristol. However, despite his illustrious diplomatic career Canning's hopes of high political office were frequently dashed.
==Background and education==
Canning was the youngest of the five children of Stratford Canning (1744–1787), an Irish-born merchant based in London, by his wife (Mehitabel ), daughter of Robert Patrick. His eldest brother Henry Canning became British Consul in Hamburg in 1823, a posting he retained for the rest of his life. Another brother, William Canning (1778-1860) was a Canon of Windsor from 1828 to 1860, while another brother, Charles Fox Canning (1784–1815), was at the time of his death Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo. He was also a first cousin of prime minister George Canning and Lord Garvagh. He was educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge.
