Sir Frederick William Fison, 1st Baronet (4 December 1847 – 20 December 1927)[1] was an English mill-owner and Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1895 to 1906.
Fison was born at Bradford, the son of William Fison a manufacturer and his wife Fanny Whitaker. He was educated at Rugby School and Christ Church, Oxford. He was a spinner and manufacturer and became a Justice of the Peace (J.P.) and Deputy Lieutenant.[2]
At the 1885 general election, Fison stood unsuccessfully for Parliament in Otley[3] and he was unsuccessful again in Buckrose in 1892. He finally entered the Commons at the 1895 general election, when he was elected as Member of Parliament for Doncaster,[4] holding that seat until his defeat at the 1906 general election.[4] He was created a baronet on 27 July 1905.[5]
Fison died at the age of 80.
Fison married Isabella Crossley, daughter of Joseph Crossley, on 23 April 1872.[2] Their son William Fison was an Olympic rower.
