Frederick Gould

Frederick Gould OBE (28 June 1879 – 23 February 1971) was an English trade unionist and Labour Party politician who was a member of parliament (MP) for Frome from 1923 to 1924 and from 1929 to 1931.

He was also the father of Sir Ronald Gould, teacher and trade unionist.

A few years later he took a job as a 'rounder' at Ollie Edwards's Boot Factory in Midsomer Norton.

He became a parliamentary private secretary in 1930, but lost the seat in Labour's electoral defeat in 1931.

At that point his union decided that it wanted him to fight a seat with a larger proportion of footwear workers, but he was defeated at the 1935 election in Leicester East.
