Francis Coldwells

Francis Moses Coldwells (1832 – 29 July 1895) was a British businessman and Liberal Party politician.

Born in Stoke Newington, he was educated in the British School there. At one time he occupied the office of harbourmaster at Brading, Isle of Wight before moving to Croydon in the southern suburbs of London where he established a tailoring business. He was subsequently a justice of the peace for the borough. He described himself as being "slowly killed with worry", and did not defend his parliamentary seat at the next election in 1895.

He was found dead in a summer house in Bournemouth shortly after leaving parliament. At the inquest into his death it was found that he died from heart failure, possibly aggravated by stress.
