Sir Francis Sykes, 2nd Baronet
Sir Francis William Sykes, 2nd Baronet (12 November 1767 – 7 March 1804)[1] was an English baronet and politician.
He was elected at a by-election in 1794 as Member of Parliament (MP) for Wallingford, in the interest of his father Sir Francis Sykes, 1st Baronet.[2] He did not seek re-election in 1796,[2] and moved to Germany, where he died of scarlet fever in 1804,[2] less than two months after succeeding his father in the baronetcy.[3]
