List of Members of Middlesex County Council 1889-1919

This is a list of the members of the Middlesex County Council 1889-1919.

The council was created by the Local Government Act 1888 and consisted of directly-elected councillors and aldermen who were chosen by the council itself. There was a ratio of one alderman to every three councillors.

A general election of all councillors was held every three years. One half of the aldermen, who had a six year term of office, retired at each election. Aldermanic vacancies were filled at the first council meeting following the triennial election.

Elections of the council were held on the following dates: The election due to be held in 1916 was postponed due to the First World War.
 * 29 January 1889 (Sat as a 'provisional' council until assuming powers on 1 April)
 * 2 March 1892
 * 5 March 1895
 * 2 March 1898
 * 4 March 1901
 * 2 March 1904
 * 6 March 1907
 * 2 March 1910
 * 5 March 1913

There were no official party groups on the council in this period, and in many divisions elections were uncontested. Where a councillor or alderman was a member of a political party in a different context, or where a candidate was supported by a party this has been noted.

Aldermen
From 1889-1904 the Middlesex County Council consisted of 18 aldermen in addition to the elected councillors.

At the first meeting of the county council in January 1889, eighteen aldermen were chosen. Ballots were then taken as to which aldermen would retire in 1892 (Group 1) and one in 1895 (Group 2). From 1892 all aldermen had a six-year term of office, half retiring at the same time as the election of councillors. Casual vacancies were filled at county council meetings.

In 1904 the number of aldermen was increased to nineteen to reflect an increase in the size of the council as a whole. A tenth seat was added to Group 1.

Under legislation passed during World War One the term of office of all councillors and aldermen was extended until the end of hostilities. The normal cycle began again in 1919, but with 20 aldermen and 60 councillors due to boundary changes.

The office of alderman was considered to be more prestigious than that of councillor. Long-serving councillors were often 'promoted' to the aldermanic bench after years of service. More controversially, councillors who had been rejected by the electorate could remain members of the council if their colleagues chose to make them aldermen.
