Thanks for your help on how to get facts.
I was also hoping to possibly find someone who had memories of past relations who had mentioned or had connections with the group and maybe passed on stories.  A long shot I know but worth trying!

Warwickshire / Birmingham Independent Labour Party 1890s
« on: Monday 31 July 17 10:50 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have any information about people connected with the Birmingham branch of the I.L.P. in the 1890's?  My Grandfather Nicholas Donovan was their candidate for the local council elections in 1894, St. Mary's ward and 1895, Rotton Park ward.  Both unsuccessful.
I would love to find out about other supporters of the party there,  how they tried to get votes and the attitudes of local people to them.  I am writing his story so the vaguest hints would be helpful.
Thanks for any help.

Thank you so much for the information it has helped me understand. Having been told my Grandfather ran a pub in the 1800s when I discovered he applied for an off-licence in 1873 I started having doubts thinking it may have been a shop instead.  Now I see that it may have been a pub as I thought but  needing to have a licence to sell takeaway alchohol also.  Thanks

Hello, my Grandfather is listed from 1873 and over about the next 10 years as a beer retailer yet on the 1881 census his address is under that of a pub.  Did publicans or beerhouse owners at that time ever call themselves a beer retailer or could it have been a shop close to the pub and named after it. Thanks for any help.

Yes, I am sure it must be the same person.  If so we must be cousins!!!!   He went to Liverpool with his wife Edith, my Grandmother, in about 1897, stood for the Labour Party in the local elections in 1902 but was unsuccessful.  Does any of this sound familiar?
