David Duncan (politician)

David Duncan (1831 – 30 December 1886)[1] was a British merchant and shipper and a Liberal Party politician who briefly represented the seat of Barrow-in-Furness.

He and Williamson were based in Valparaiso while Balfour looked after the Liverpool end of the business.

After the partnership ran into personal difficulties, Duncan left Balfour Williamson in 1863, and formed his own company, Duncan Fox & Co., which became a great commercial rival of Balfour Williamson in Chile, with interests in mining as well as shipping.

[2] He returned to England and lived at Gayton Hall in Cheshire where he was a J. P. and was also a director of the Royal Insurance Company.
