Peter Ffrench

Iirsh politician


Peter Ffrench (c. 1844 1 November 1929) was an Irish politician.

Born in Barmow in County Wexford, Ffrench followed his father into farming. He served as a magistrate and a coroner, and was selected as the anti-Parnellite Irish National Federation candidate at the 1893 South Wexford by-election, winning the seat without facing an opponent. He then held the seat at each subsequent election, no opponent coming forward until the 1918 general election, when he lost to James Ryan in the Sinn Féin landslide.[1]
