Francis "Frank" Lawry (1839 – 19 January 1921) was a conservative then Liberal Party Member of Parliament in New Zealand.
Lawry was born in Bleadon, Somerset, England, in 1839, the son of William Lawry, a farmer and Methodist minister. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1863.[1]
He won the Franklin North electorate in 1887, and then the Parnell electorate in 1890 which he represented until he retired in 1911.[2]
In the 1890 election, he was listed as a supporter of the Atkinson Ministry, led by Harry Atkinson.[3] Following the election, he did change his allegiance to the Liberal Party and became Senior Whip for the Liberal Government from 1891 until his resignation from the role on 29 October 1894.[4]
Lawry died in Auckland in 1921,[1] and was buried at St Matthias' Church, Panmure.[5]
