Ida Homfray

Ida Frances Homfray (1869–1948) was an English chemist and local politician.

Homfray was born in 1869 in Newcastle-under-Lyme to coal mine engineer George Homfray and his wife Marion, née Block. She studied chemistry under William Ramsay.[1][2][3]

In 1904, she collaborated with Philippe A. Guye at the University of Geneva on surface tension studies and molar refractivity.[4] Later, she studied the absorption of gases including nitrogen and helium by porous media.[5][6]

In 1905, she received a BSc from University College, London, followed by a DSc in 1910.[2][7]

Homfray was Treasurer of the Hampstead Liberal Association and ran as Liberal candidate for Hampstead in the 1928 and 1931 London County Council elections.[8]

She died in 1948.[1]
