Francis John Marnham (1853-1941) was a British Liberal politician and businessman.
He was a member of the Stock Exchange.
In 1906 he was elected Liberal MP for Chertsey at the General Election, gaining the seat from the Conservatives with a majority of just 95 votes. The result was something of a surprise to the local Liberals and Marnham in particular.
In 1908, although he had retired from the Stock Exchange, he expressed a desire to stand-down from parliament due to the "strains of parliamentary life".
In 1910 he stood down from parliament and did not contest the January General Election, which saw the Conservatives re-gain the seat.
In 1926 he served a one year term as Mayor of Torquay.[1]
