Brandling was educated at Newcomes, Hackney and St Johns, Cambridge; his education was completed about 1793, by spending time on the continent. He married Frances Elizabeth and had no children. He was elected as Member of Parliament for Newcastle-upon-Tyne where he served until 1812, the year in which he retired. A few years later he was elected to Parliament again as the MP for Northumberland (1820-1826). Charles John was an extensive land and coal-owner with collieries at Gosforth and Felling in the north-east and Middleton in Yorkshire. He was patron of George Stephenson (the railway engineer), who after the disastrous explosion at Charles Felling Colliery in 1812 competed with Sir Humphrey Davy in the invention of a miner~s safety lamp. Charles John supported Stephenson~s claim to this invention (although Sir Humphrey has always received the credit) and helped to raise a subscription of £1000 which was presented to Stephenson. He was a leading Tory and recognised leader of conservative thought in southern Northumberland. He founded the Northumberland Pitt Club and became its first president. In 1819 Brandling formed and commanded the Northumberland and Newcastle Cavalry (ridiculed by the local working class as the noodles) which was dedicated to preserving the middle classes from the riots brought about by the demands for parliamentary reform. He died on 1st February 1826, aged 57 years. Taken from www.fomp.co.uk accessed April 2021. William Davison is recorded at 63 Pilgrim Street, Newcastle-upon-Tyne 1827-59.
