In Halton BC election for 2019-05-02, parser has added details for candidates for Broadheath ward as candidates for Heath ward (the latter appears later in the PDF).

Other examples of incorrect ward matching:

The SoPN parser has mixed up 'Sence Valley' and 'Valley' wards at https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/elections/local.north-west-leicestershire.valley.2019-05-02/sopn/
The 'Sence Valley' ward is ok at https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/elections/local.north-west-leicestershire.sence-valley.2019-05-02/sopn/

bot seems to have confused "Bulwell" and "Bulwell Forest" wards in Nottingham (https://static-candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/media/official_documents/local.nottingham.sherwood.2019-05-02/statement-of-persons-nominated.pdf)

Bot has picked the wrong ward for Tadcaster, Selby (it picked Camblesforth and Carlton)

The bot has mistaken 'Swinton North Ward' for 'Winton' when separating the SoPN pages in https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/elections/local.salford.winton.2019-05-02/sopn/

In combination with 0dc349d this should
catch a load of false positives in the case where one ward's name is a subset
of another ("Heath" and "Broadheath").
