Timothy Davies (22 August 1857 – 8 August 1951) was a British Liberal Party politician who was twice elected as a Member of Parliament (MP).
Timothy Davies was born in Llanpumsaint, Carmarthenshire where he spent his childhood years until later moving to Liverpool to become an apprentice in the textile industry [http://vads.ahds.ac.uk/large.php?pic=ahcarmarth01515&page=48&mode=boolean&words=stone&idSearch=boolean&vadscoll=Public+Monuments+and+Sculpture+Association Public Monuments and Sculpture Association: Fountain donated by Timothy Davies to Carmarthen] . In 1885, he founded his own company in Fulham, London but maintained strong links with Wales as evidenced when he commissioned a stone fountain for Carmarthen Park in 1899 [http://vads.ahds.ac.uk/large.php?pic=ahcarmarth01515&page=48&mode=boolean&words=stone&idSearch=boolean&vadscoll=Public+Monuments+and+Sculpture+Association Public Monuments and Sculpture Association: Fountain donated by Timothy Davies to Carmarthen] . From 1901 to 1902 he was elected mayor of the Metropolitan Borough of Fulham [http://www.lbhf.gov.uk/Directory/Council_and_Democracy/Councillors_and_MPs/Mayors_office/84289_Mayors_of_London_Borough_of_Hammersmith_and_Fulham.asp Mayors of Hammersmith and Fulham] . He also became a member of London County Council.
He was elected as MP for Fulham at the 1906 general election, defeating the Conservative MP William Hayes Fisher [http://www.leighrayment.com/commons/Fcommons.htm Fulham Constituency House of Commons Representatives, Leigh Rayment's Peerage Page] . Fisher regained the seat at the January 1910 general election.
Davies returned to the House of Commons at the December 1910 general election, when he defeated the Conservative MP Henry Langton Brackenbury in the Louth constituency in Lincolnshire. However, Brackenbury regained the seat at the next general election, in 1918 and Davies did not stand for Parliament again.
As well as serving as a MP Timothy Davies also became a Justice of the Peace and an Income Tax Commissioner. He died in 1951, aged 94.
