1771 Evan Hayward
Constituency : South East Durham 1910-18, Seaham 1918-22
Evan took South East Durham from the Liberal Unionist, Frederick Lambton , who'd been unopposed in 1906.
Evan was born in Gloucestershire. He was educated at Katherine Lady Berkeley's Grammar School.
Evan served in France during World War One and became a major.
In 1918 Evan was sent the coupon but repudiated it. This did not provoke the Tories into standing a candidate and Evan had a comfortable victory.
In 1922 Evan came a poor third.
He died in 1958 aged 81.
