Thomas Tickler

Thomas George Tickler (30 September 1852 – 19 January 1938)[1] was an English businessman and Conservative Party politician from Grimsby in Lincolnshire.

Tickler was the son of George Tickler, from Withern in Lincolnshire.[2] He established his own fruit growers and preservers business, serving as Managing Director (MD) of T.G. Tickler Ltd, which operated from Grimsby and Southall, and was also MD of Heathcote Pottery Ltd of Swadlincote[2] in Derbyshire. He was a Justice of the Peace (J.P) in Grimsby, and for fifteen years he was a member of Grimsby Town Council, serving as Mayor in 1907.[2]

Tickler was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Great Grimsby at a by-election in May 1914[3] following the death of the Conservative MP Sir George Doughty.[4] Doughty had held the seat for nearly 20 years, with a short break in 1910.
