1849 Thomas Taylor
Constituency : Bolton 1912-16
Thomas took over at Bolton after the death of George Harwood.
Thomas was the son of a corn merchant. He was educated at Bolton Church Institute and became an apprentice in a cotton firm. He progressed through the ranks to become a Board member. In 1894 he resigned and set up his own company. He was known locally as "Daddy Taylor" and often sorted out domestic quarrels informally.
Thomas favoured disestablishment of the church in both England and Wales although he was an Anglican himself.
Thomas resigned due to ill health in 1916 and died later that year aged 65.
