David Randell

David Randell (1854 – 5 June 1912), was a Welsh solicitor and a radical Liberal Party politician.

He specialised in trade union litigation, protecting coal miners and tinplate workers on safety issues.

In 1888 a vacancy arose in the Gower division of Glamorganshire following the death of Frank Ash Yeo, the member since the constituency was formed three years earlier.

The Liberal Association rapidly chose Sir Horace Davey to contest the seat.
