In 1711 Thomas Duncombe was returned for his uncle’s seat at Downton as a stop-gap for the rest of that Parliament. He did not stand again until 1734, when he was returned for Ripon by John Aislabie, whose daughter had married his brother-in-law, Sir Henry Slingsby, 5th Bt.. He voted against the Administration, was not put up in 1741, and died 23 Mar. 1746.
