Can anyone tell me how far back electoral role information was collected? I need to find out where someone was living between 1908 and 1914. Many thanks Ellen |

From the Getting Started section of this website: 'Electoral registers began in 1832 and by 1884 all male householders over the age of 21 were entitled to vote. By 1918 all men over 21 and women over the age of 30 could vote, changing to the age of 21 for women in 1928. In 1969 the age was lowered from 21 to 18. They are usually kept by local libraries and county record offices and are an excellent way of trying to trace down towards the present. ' nell |

At the local library nearest where your ancestors lived. I went to view my ancestors and looked in the records of Autumn 1919. Good Luck Irene |

Alter Ego Many thanks for giving me the number. Had a job getting through to them, continually engaged, but managed it in the end. Only problem - no surviving electoral role registers for the area and dates I am interested in. Lady I spoke to, took some details and is going to see what info is available that might help me. Regards Ellen |
