Harvey died in 1830. Bramston stood against Conyers for the vacant Essex seat, and was elected. The death of George IV then caused a general election of 1830, and Bramston was unwilling to stand again, having spent some four months in Parliament. He died of a burst blood vessel in 1831.[1]
In 1796, Bramston married Maria Anne (died 1821), daughter of William Blaauw, of Queen Anne Street, Middlesex, of a Dutch family of Amsterdam burgomasters, and half-sister of the antiquarian William Henry Blaauw.[2] They had two sons and six daughters. Bramston married secondly, in 1823, Charlotte, daughter of Sir Henry Hawley, 1st Baronet.[1]
