At the 1713 general election Dawney was returned as Member of Parliament for Aldborough and Pontefract constituencies.
There was a petition against the result at Aldborough, but this had not been resolved by the time the Parliament was dissolved in 1715.
While there was an outstanding petition against one of the elections, he was not required to choose which constituency he would represent, and so sat for both boroughs throughout the Parliament.
He was returned for Pontefract at the 1715 general election until he was unseated on petition on 22 March 1716.
Dawnay married Charlotte Louisa, daughter of Robert Pleydell, of Ampney Crucis, Gloucestershire, on 10 August 1724.
