Cecil Wilson (politician)

Cecil Henry Wilson (8 September 1862 – 7 November 1945) was a British pacifist Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP).

Born in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, the son of Liberal Party Member of Parliament for Holmfirth, Henry Wilson, Wilson attended Wesley College, Sheffield and the Victoria University of Manchester.

In 1903 Wilson was elected to Sheffield City Council for the Darnall ward, a seat he held until 1924.

He held the seat until the 1931 general election, when he narrowly lost to the Conservative Party candidate Cecil Frederick Pike.

Wilson resigned on 7 February 1944 due to ill health, and died in November the following year in Westminster aged 83.
