Henry Llewelyn

Henry Llewelyn (12 September 1855 – 6 August 1933) was a member the Queensland Legislative Council.

He arrived in Australia in 1885 and headed to Gympie to work as a gold miner.

After a failed referendum in May 1917,[3] Premier Ryan tried a new tactic, and later that year advised the Governor, Sir Hamilton John Goold-Adams, to appoint thirteen new members whose allegiance lay with Labour to the council.

[4] Llewelyn was one of the thirteen new members, and went on to serve for four and a half years until the council was abolished in March, 1922.

[1] His marriages resulted in twelve children,[1] including Evan Llewelyn who went on to be the Labor member for the state seat of Toowoomba.
