About David Morgan Adams

Lived 1875 – 1942 (aged 67). David Morgan Adams was a British politician.

David Morgan Adams (23 February 1875 – 19 May 1942) was a British Labour Party politician.

He was the son of David Morgan Adams of Ystradowen, near Cowbridge, Glamorgan in South Wales and Bessie Dent of Poplar in East London. He subsequently held the seat at elections in 1931 and 1934, retiring from the council in 1937.

When a general election was called in October 1931, the sitting Labour Party Member of Parliament for Poplar South, Samuel March, decided to retire, and Adams was chosen by the Labour Party to defend the seat. He won the seat in a straight fight with Herbert L M Jones of the Liberal Party. At the next election in November 1935 he increased his majority, this time over Diana Spearman of the Conservative Party.

Adams died in Ilford, Essex in May 1942 aged 67.
