Godfrey Samuelson
Godfrey Blundell Samuelson (3 June 1863 – 3 November 1941)[1] was a British Liberal Party politician. He sat in the House of Commons from 1887 to 1892.
Samuelson unsuccessfully contested the 1885 general election in the Tewkesbury division of Gloucestershire.[2] He was unsuccessful again at the 1886 general election in the Frome division of Somerset, where he was defeated by the Conservative candidate in what had been a Liberal-held seat.[2]
He entered Parliament the following year, when he was elected at by-election in July 1887 as Member of Parliament (MP) for the Forest of Dean, following the resignation of the Liberal MP Thomas Blake.[2]
Samuelson did not stand again at the next general election, in 1892.[2]
