William McArthur (Lord Mayor of London)

Sir William McArthur (6 July 1809 – 16 November 1887) was an Irish businessman and Lord Mayor of London, and a Liberal Party politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1868 to 1885.
McArthur was born at Malin, County Donegal,〔(Thomas W. H. Fitzgerald ''Ireland and Her People: A Library of Irish Biography'' )〕 the son of Rev. John McArthur, a Methodist minister in Londonderry.〔(Debretts House of Commons and the Judicial Bench 1881 )〕 In 1821 he was apprenticed to a woollen draper in Enniskillen. He moved to Lurgan in 1825 where he was a merchant and in 1831 established a drapery business in Derry initially in a partnership, but later on his own. In 1841 his brother Arthur McArthur went to Australia and the business was trading with several destinations in Australia.〔 McArthur became an alderman of Derry. In 1857 McArthur moved the business to the City of London where he also became chairman of the Star Assurance Company, and was a director of the City Bank, the Bank of Australasia and the Australian Telegraph Co. He was a J.P. for Surrey and a Deputy Lieutenant for the City of London.〔
At the 1865 general election McArthur stood unsuccessfully for Parliament in Pontefract. From 1867 to 1868 he was Sheriff of London and Middlesex.〔 At the 1868 general election McArthur was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Lambeth,〔Craig, British parliamentary election results 1832–1885, page 13〕 and held the seat until borough was divided under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885.〔〔 He was elected an alderman of London for Coleman Street in 1872 and became Lord Mayor of London in 1880. He was one of the founders of the London Chamber of Commerce in 1881 and was made KCMG in 1882.〔
At the 1885 general election, McArthur stood as an Independent Liberal candidate in the new Newington West, but finished a poor third with 821 votes (16%).
He had several interests in social and reforming organisations, including the Orphan Working School of Haverstock Hill and Hornsey Rise, and the Aborigines' Protection Society.
In 1883 he opened Centenary Hall, Cottington Street, Kennington, and is remembered on a commemorative stone.
McArthur died at the age of 78 and was buried in Norwood cemetery.
McArthur married Marianne McElwaine in 1843.〔
