Tuesday, 1 November 1904. The candidates were nominally independent, but the Northern Daily Telegraph gave initials and affiliations (though not the voting figures, which I obtained elsewhere).
NOTE: Unfortunately there is a discrepancy with the two sources I have used to obtain the below data - there appears to be a mix up between who the candidates were in Bank Hey and Brunswick wards, and I don't know which is correct. Hopefully subsequent results will act as good pointers.
BANK HEY or BRUNSWICK - further research required
Elected: WH Broadhead, Lib 310 WH Cocker, Con 275
Not elected: H Keighley, Lib 32 Barlow, Lib 31
BRUNSWICK or BANK HEY - further research required
Elected: R Holt, Con 731 J Bailey, Lib 676
Not elected: T Platts, Lab 273
CLAREMONT
Elected: HRS Briggs, Con 630 TE Maso, Con 519
Not elected: JE Lucas, Lib 278
TALBOT
Elected: J Whiteside, Con 666 J Chadwick, Lib 585
Not elected: J Porter, Lab 395
