Francis Henry Wiltshire

Francis Henry Wiltshire (died 1932) was a British trade unionist and political activist.

Wiltshire worked as a schoolteacher for many years, serving for thirty years at London Fields School, and then for ten years at Princess May Road School. He also became a prominent activist in the National Union of Teachers. He retired in 1924, and became active in the Labour Party and the Fabian Society.[1][2]

At the 1929 United Kingdom general election, Wiltshire stood in Hornsey, taking 17.0% of the vote and third place. His health then declined, and he died early in 1932.[1][3]
