Thomas Worrall Casey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Worrall Casey (13 October 1869 - 29 November 1949) was a British Coalition Liberal Member of Parliament.

Born in the Intake district of Sheffield, Casey became a Methodist preacher and a Justice of the Peace. He was later elected as the General Secretary of the Winding and General Engineers Society.

At the 1918 general election, Casey was elected for the Sheffield Attercliffe constituency. However, he lost the seat at the 1922 general election. He subsequently contested a string of seats, unsuccessfully: Ilkeston in 1923, Gloucester in 1929 and Rotherham in 1935. With this final loss, he gave up on Parliamentary politics, and was instead elected to Mexborough Urban District Council.
