Sir Edward Goodere, 1st Baronet

Edward Goodere (1657–1739) was a British politician.

He was born in India and was the only surviving son of John Goodere of Burhope, Herefordshire, by his wife Anne Morgan, the daughter of John Morgan of Kent.

He was created a baronet on 5 December 1707, and was elected Member of Parliament in the Parliament of Great Britain for Evesham over three parliaments 1708–15, and for Herefordshire in the 1722–27 parliament.

He married on 21 January 1679 at Bodenham, Herefordshire, Helen Dineley, the daughter and heir of Sir Edward Dineley of Charlton, Worcestershire, and his wife Frances, the daughter of Lewis Watson, 1st Baron Rockingham. They had three sons. She died in or before 1714.

He died on 29 March 1739, at the age of nearly 90. He was succeeded by his eldest surviving son, Sir John Dineley Goodere, 2nd Baronet, who was later strangled on board HMS Ruby, a crime for which his younger brother Samuel was executed. The third son was killed in a duel.
