D. (Davison) Dalziel

Published records identify D. (Davison) Dalziel as Davison Alexander Dalziel, later 1st Baron Dalziel of Wooler. He was born in 1852 and became known as a journalist and newspaper owner before entering politics.

He was associated with the Pall Mall Gazette and later built a career as an influential newspaper proprietor. Alongside his work in publishing, he served as a Conservative Member of Parliament and was eventually raised to the peerage.
