Frederick Francis (Canadian politician)

Frederick Henhurst Francis (c. 1845–1895) was a Canadian merchant and political figure in Manitoba.

He represented St. Francois Xavier in 1888 in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Liberal.

Francis married Sarah Margaret, the daughter of John Black, a Presbyterian clergyman.

He was elected to the provincial assembly in an 1888 by-election[1] held after Joseph Burke was named to the Manitoba cabinet.

[2] Francis was elected in a largely Roman Catholic and francophone riding based on promises from the Liberals that separate schools in the province would be protected.
