Thomas Salusbury (Liverpool MP)

Thomas Salusbury (died 1756), born as Thomas Brereton, was a British Member of Parliament and Lord Mayor of Liverpool. He was elected to Parliament as Member for Liverpool at a by-election on 20 November 1724 on the death of Langham Booth, and was then re-elected at the general election in 1727, and then again at the general election in 1734. He was mayor of Liverpool from 1733 to 1734. He changed his surname from Brereton to Salusbury by a 1748 private Act of Parliament after his second marriage with Catherine, daughter of Mr. Salusbury Lloyd, the M.P. for Flint Boroughs. He was the father of the antiquary Owen Salusbury Brereton.
