He was the only son of John Julius Angerstein, who had moved to London from Russia and made his fortune as a Lloyds underwriter.
He was elected at the 1796 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for borough of Camelford in Cornwall, holding the seat until the 1802 general election, when he left Parliament.[3][4]
He was one of the three people nominated in November 1829 to be the High Sheriff of Kent for 1830–31,[5] but the King picked Edward Rice instead.[6] He was nevertheless appointed High Sheriff of Norfolk for 1831–32,[7] when he lived at Weeting Hall.[8]
He was re-elected to Parliament at the 1835 general election as an MP for Greenwich,[2] having previously contested the seat unsuccessfully in 1832.[9] He decided not to defend the seat at the 1837 general election,[9] choosing instead to stand for Eastern Surrey. He failed to win that seat however.[10]
He died in 1858. He had married Amelia, the daughter of William Locke of Norbury Park, Surrey, with whom he had three sons and two daughters.
