Joseph Henderson, 1st Baron Henderson of Ardwick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Henderson, 1st Baron Henderson of Ardwick (1884 – 26 February 1950) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom.
He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Manchester Ardwick at a by-election in June 1931, following the death of the Labour MP Thomas Louth. At the general election in October 1931, when Labour split over Ramsay MacDonald's formation of a National Government, he lost the seat to the Conservative Party candidate Albert George Hubert Fuller.
Henderson regained the seat at the 1935 general election, and represented Manchester Ardwick in the House of Commons until he was elevated to the peerage in the Dissolution Honours List on 22nd January 1950, as Baron Henderson of Ardwick. He died only five weeks later, on 26 February, aged 65, and the title became extinct on his death.
