1092 Henry Wardle

Constituency : Derbyshire  South  1885-92

Derbyshire  South  was  reduced  from  a  two-member  constituency  , usually  represented  by  one  from  each  party  to  a  single  member  constituency. Henry  won  it  for  the  Liberals  replacing  the  retiring  Thomas  Evans.

Henry  was  born  in  Berkshire  but  started  a  partnership  in  a  brewery  at  Burton-upon-Trent. He  was  active  in  the  town's  civic  affairs.

Most  of  Henry's  few  parliamentary  contributions  concerned  supposed  errors  in  the  official  Prayer  Books.

He  died  shortly  before  the  election  in  1892  aged  59.
