Trying to work out what happened in the December 1910 general election - was Ellis running for re-election when he died? Leif Jones seems to have been elected without any controversy or delay which suggests he was already a candidate; I don't know what day Rushcliffe had its polling then or if it would have been possible to substitute another candidate at short notice.

He resigned about 23 November 1910 due to concerns over his health and it was agreed then that Leif Jones would stand as his successor in the election. He died about a week later on 1 December 1910. GhostInTheMachine (talk) 18:19, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
