1515 Joseph Andrews

Constituency : Barkston  Ash  1905-06

Joseph  took  Barkston  Ash  in  1905  to  become  the  only  non-Conservative  MP  in  the  constituency's  98-year  history.

Joseph  was  educated  at  the  Ripon  Cathedral  Choir  School.  He  became  a  barrister. He  also  hunted  and  raced  horses.

Unfortunately  Parliament  had  broken  up  by  the  time  of  the  by-election  and  as  the  Conservatives  regained  the  seat  in  1906, Joseph  never  took  his  place  in  the  Commons.

Joseph  died  of  appendiciis  in  1909  aged  just  36.
