William Henry Watson entered the House of Commons in 1841 as liberal member for Kinsale remaining an MP until 1847. From 1854 to 1856 he was the member for Hull until on 3 November 1856 he was created Baron of the Exchequer. On the conclusion of his charge to the grand jury at Welshpool on 12 March 1860 he was seized with apoplexy and died the next day.
