Politics and Government

In 1889, Ben Tillett came to notice for the part he played in the London Dock strike. As a result of his activities, he was asked to stand as Parliamentary candidate for the Eastern Division of Bradford, but replied 'I shall never seek Parliamentary honours until I have the hearts and consciences of a constituency to back me up in the most spontaneous fashion'. A petition, was signed by over 1000 Bradford people whose names and other information are given in the results of Carol Bartlett's research into the Tillett Petition.

The Parliamentary Registers for the borough of Bradford were issued in various formats. These formats are as follows:
- 1853-1867, completely alphabetical by surname for the whole of Bradford, Bowling, Horton and Manningham townships.
- 1868-1878, alphabetical by surname by wards for the above townships.
- 1881-1883, as above but wards split because of the number of voters and additional wards in 1883.
- 1884-1915, wards split, streets given in alphabetical order, then by house number.
