Wilfred Fienburgh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilfred Fienburgh (4 November 1919 – 3 February 1958) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom.
At the 1945 general election he stood unsuccessfully in the Pembrokeshire constituency in Wales, losing by only 168 votes to the Liberal Party candidate Gwilym Lloyd George.
At the 1951 general election Fienburgh was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for the safe Labour seat of Islington North, in North London. He represented the constituency until his death in a car crash in 1958, aged 38. At the resulting by-election, the seat was held for Labour by Gerry Reynolds, who himself died in office in 1969.
