The Independent in Silverdale and Parkside isn't related to the Caring Party/ex-UKIP/Newcastle Independent Group, but rather to the Borough Independent Group (a mix of 3 former Liberal Democrats turned Labour turned Independent and 1 Liberal Democrat turned Green turned Independent). Their candidate is the partner of their leader, Simon White.

Googling a lot, official electoral documents, the excellent Andrew Teale website for past election results, the excellent Keith Edkins website for past by-election results and recouping a lot of information between different sources to get a complete picture.

Max is very good at this sort of thing. The winters in northern Quebec are long and people must learn to make their own fun.
