Is anyone able to look at the electoral rolls for Dunstable prior to 1948?
The address I'm interested in is - 205 Chiltern Crescent, Dunstable.
My gt.grandmother was living there when she died, aged 75, in1948.
I am interested to find out (roughly) how long she had been living at this address before she died.
Her name was Sarah Ann Bartlett, a retired district nurse.
I understand that at one time she had a couple (husband & wife) living with her. Their name may have been "Baldwin" as there is a W.Baldwin, with the same address, shown as the "informant" on her death certificate.
Many Thanks.

Thanks Shirley.
I should have worded my request better as i understand about the lack of electoral rolls during the war years.
I know that my gt.grandmother was nursing in Bristol in 1911 and that during WW2 she was living in Dunstable - looking at the earlier electoral rolls seemed a good idea at the time !! - Ah well, back to the drawing board.
