Franklin Thomasson

He married Elizabeth, a daughter of the late Caleb Coffin of New York City on 11 July 1895.

He became Liberal MP for Leicester at a by-election in 1906, however, sharing the representation of the double-member constituency with Ramsay MacDonald.

[1] In 1906, Thomasson ventured on a bold but disastrous experiment in newspaper production by founding the Tribune (1906–1908).

He played a large part in local political life before he left Bolton for London.
