Edmund Francis Vesey Knox (23 January 1865 – 15 May 1921) was an Irish nationalist politician of Ulster-Scots descent.
[1] Knox was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for West Cavan at an unopposed by-election on 26 March 1890, following the death of the nationalist MP Joseph Biggar,[2] taking his seat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
He was re-elected as an Irish National Federation MP at the 1892 general election, with a majority of more than three-to-one over his sole opponent, a Unionist.
[3] At the 1895 election he was again returned unopposed in West Cavan,[4] but also stood in Londonderry City, winning that seat by a slender majority over his unionist opponent.
He chose to sit for Londonderry City,[4] and held that seat until he resigned from Parliament on 9 December 1898 by becoming Steward of the Manor of Northstead.
