Daniel Gaskell

Daniel Gaskell (11 September 1782 – 20 December 1875) was a British Liberal Party politician.

He was elected at the 1832 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the newly enfranchised borough of Wakefield in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was re-elected in 1835,
at the same election that returned his nephew, James Milnes Gaskell as M.P. for Wenlock.

He held the seat until his defeat at the 1837 general election by the Conservative Party candidate William Lascelles.

Gaskell, whose home was at Lupsett Hall, Yorkshire, died in 1875 aged ninety-three.
There is a monument to him in the Unitarian Chapel on Westgate, in Wakefield.
