Daniel Gaskell
Daniel Gaskell (11 September 1782 – 20 December 1875)[1] was a British Liberal Party politician.
He was elected at the 1832 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the newly enfranchised borough of Wakefield[2] in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was re-elected in 1835,[3] at the same election that returned his nephew, James Milnes Gaskell as M.P. for Wenlock.
He held the seat until his defeat at the 1837 general election[1] by the Conservative Party candidate William Lascelles.[4]
Gaskell, whose home was at Lupsett Hall, Yorkshire,[5] died in 1875 aged ninety-three. There is a monument to him in the Unitarian Chapel on Westgate, in Wakefield.[6]
