Hi again
I have been into the local Library to look for the Electroles on Ancestry today
But no luck
Olive

Find My Past has some ER's for the 1920's / early 30's

Harry and Olive Cooke are shown in 1923 - 1931 to be at 50 Pierrepont Road

First name(s) Harry
Last name Cooke
Year 1923
Season Autumn
Polling district or place West Bridgford
Constituency P C of Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe Division
Constituency in full Parliamentary County of Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe Division
County Nottinghamshire
Country England
Register type Parliamentary County

Archive reference SPR.Mic.P.267/BL.N.51
Record set England & Wales, Electoral Registers 1920-1932
Category Census, land & surveys
Subcategory Electoral Rolls
Collections from Great Britain, England

From originals -

1930/31 shows also Harry Archibald and Clarice Cooke at the same address.

Against each person are 2 codes, the first gives the qualification for Parliamentary elections, the second for local elections. A dash indicates voter couldn't vote in that election.
In 1931
Harry is R (Residence Qualification) and O (Occupational qualification)
Olive is Rw (residential qualification - women) and Dw (Qualification through husband's occupation.) Both shown as HO pre 1928
Harry Archibald is R and a dash
Clarice is Rw and dash

Harry also has a J by his name which indicates he was eligible for Juror service each year

No Clarice 1929 and Harry Archibald only qualifies R dash
1927/28 - only Harry and Olive

ER codes explained -
http://www.electoralregisters.org.uk/codes.htm

Earlier electoral rolls are available from the main library for the areas

Pre 2002 aren't online

The exception is Ancestry that does have some London electoral rolls but they are the exception rather than the norm

Thankyou for your reply

Really strange we can’t find Vera Wilson born 1919 (nee Cook )
When she was married to James Barry Wilson , on the Electroles

My Mum Veras sister and Dad are on the Electroles
You all helped me to find then
Anyway Thankyou
Bye for now
Olive

She won't show on the electoral rolls until she was of voting age so born 1919 she wouldn't show till 1940
The exception would be the 1939 register as this was compiled for ww2 identity cards and ration books

However when that was composed it was assured would be closed for 100 years

When the NHS stated in1948 it was used to issue NHS nos and was updated for deaths that has occurred and woman who had married

It's been updated several times since and records opened for those that have passed away

It's not up to date on open records but a record can be requested to be opened on proof by a death cert

Again Vera is still alive so she is a closed record

For when Vera did marry then those would be at the local area where she lived

I believe though they aren't searchable by name but by address
But no electoral rolls were taken in WW2

Thankyou all for all your effort
And explaining how it works
Bye for now and Thankyou
Olive

First one James Barry Wilson married 1946 Nottingham I don’t no any thing about James Barry Wilson Only he served in WW2

Ralph Douglas Chandler married 1958 Nottingham Death 1982 nottingham He was in the Police Force Nottingham

I'm only suggesting this man because he died in Nottinghamshire.
I DON'T know if this is the same James Barry Wilson - this one has an extra middle name.

Re Electoral Rolls -

as Shirley has explained, there were no ER's during WW2.
IF James Barry was the one born in 1920, he wouldn't be old enough to appear on an ER until 1941, which of course was during WW2.

Ralph was born 1924, so he wouldn't appear on an ER until 1945 - or until after the war.


Here he is as a teenager in 1939:

In 1960 he was living in Nottingham, so presumably Vera was at that address too:

Thankyou so much
I recognise that address for them
I will send for the marriage of Vera Cooke and James Barry Wilson I think they may have married at Edwalton Church Edwalton Nottingham 1946
Then it will state age etc

The trouble there is no one to ask now only Aunt Vera but don’t think she will ??

Anyway will let you know I get on
Thankyou
Olive

James Barry Wilson didn't have any other Christian names when they married in 1946

Hi
As far as I know
Vera Cooke married James Barry Wilson @ Nottingham 1946

So surely they must be on an Electrole if he was still a live ????
My cousin and I think James Barry Taylor might have been in RAF WW2

Anyway I am sending for the marriage certificate later next week
See what turns up
Bye for now and Thankyou

Olive

Hi
Just to say I have sent for the Marriage of

Vera Cooke And James Barry Wilson 1946 Nottingham

Thankyou
Olive

Hi
I have received my Aunts Marriage Certifate

It states
Vera Cooke Age 26 (but she was born 1919 ) living @ West Bridgford

Father Harry Cooke (thats right my Grandfather )

James Barry Wilson Age 26 Living @ Edwalton

Father James Leonard Wilson

Marriage June 1946 Edwalton Church Edwalton Nottinghamshire

But where the Groom was born or his Father I have no idea

Olive





Father Harry Cooke

Married 1946, given age 26 1946 - 26 = 1920 in simple Maths
But if Vera was born in October 1919 (page 1 of thread) and married in June 1946 she would still only be 26 having had that birthday in October 1945

--------------------------------------

POSSIBLES only, not certain -

These are the James B Wilson births that would make him 26 at marriage

Looks likely - I see looking back into the thread that ArgyllGran had come up with James Barry Schofield Wilson as a possibility
