Thomas Gifford (politician)
Thomas Gifford (June 1, 1854 – February 19, 1935〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Search Results )〕) was a politician in British Columbia, Canada.
Born in Lockerbie, Scotland, the son of William Gifford and Margaret Stewart, he was educated there and apprenticed as a jeweller. He opened his own store in Lockerbie around 1876. In 1877, he married Annie Stoddart.〔 Thomas and his wife, along with sons William (b. 3 Jul 1878) and Thomas Stuart (b. 3 Jun 1880), emigrated to St. Paul, Minnesota in 1881.〔 Here, they had a daughter Margaret (b. 6 Apr 1882) and another son, James Stoddart (b. 26 Sep 1888), before moving again to New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, where Gifford opened a jewelry store.〔 They had three more children - Julia Stuart (b. 8 Aug 1888〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Search Results )〕), Hugh Wilson (b. 29 May 1892〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Search Results )〕), and John Jardine (b. 25 Nov 1893〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Search Results )〕) - and lived the rest of their lives in New Westminster. Gifford served as an alderman for New Westminster, as well as a member of the school board, hospital board and Board of Trade.〔
Thomas was elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in a 1901 by-election held after John Cunningham Brown was named to cabinet, and was re-elected in 1903, 1907, 1909 and 1912.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Electoral History of British Columbia, 1871-1986 )〕
He died in New Westminster at the age of 81.〔
