1934 Twickenham by-election

The Twickenham by-election, 1934 was a parliamentary by-election held on 22 June 1934 for the British House of Commons constituency of Twickenham in Middlesex.

The seat had become vacant when the constituency's Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), Hylton Murray-Philipson, died on 24 May 1934, aged 31. He had held the seat since a by-election in 1932.

The result was a victory for the Conservative candidate Alfred Critchley, who had stood for the Empire Free Trade Crusade and the United Empire Party in the 1931 Islington East by-election and as a Conservative at the 1929 general election.

gollark: I can't actually tell. I checked in it very briefly, in it the machines tower is 1 floor.
gollark: I have *parts* of it, plus older copies of it.
gollark: It was backed up. It's just that my backup retention policy was broken.
gollark: This latest messup was probably mostly on me (really should test stuff better), but I have no idea how big modded servers run without exploding.
gollark: This is really awful. I've managed to recover *some* of the new region files (from the corrupted forge-side backup), I think all the nether/end, and the level.dat, but no playerdata. Kind of annoyed at myself for misconfiguring the backup thing... anyway, if anyone has suggestions for getting more data out, or wants their own copy of stuff, you can ask, but I'm going to shut it down.
