James Deany
James Davidson Deany (28 September 1877 – 20 March 1927) was an Australian politician.
He was born in Dennington to carpenter John Simpson Deany and Jane Davidson. He attended the local state school and became a shop assistant before working for Warrnambool Town Council as a sanitary fees collector. Around 1899 he married Isobel Jane Burall, with whom he had three children. He ran a bookshop and newsagency from around 1903. From 1911 to 1917 he was a member of Warrnambool City Council, serving as mayor from 1915 to 1916. In 1916 he won a by-election for the Victorian Legislative Assembly seat of Warrnambool, and soon joined the Economy faction of the Nationalist Party. He held his seat until his death in Warrnambool in 1927.[1]
