John Joseph O'Neill (British politician)
John Joseph O'Neill (1888 – 20 April 1953)[1] was a Liberal Party politician in England.
At the 1918 general election, he stood as a candidate in the 2-seat Preston constituency, where he fell only 485 votes short of winning the second seat.[2] He did not stand again until the 1923 general election, where he won Lancaster from the sitting Conservative MP, John Singleton.[1][2]
However, O'Neill's time in the House of Commons was short. At the 1924 general election, he was defeated by the Conservative Gerald Strickland, and did not stand again.[2]
