Just to thank Mery and Gail for their advice. Ive just received a mail back from Surrey archives telling me that it looks like the informant on the death certificate was in fact the landlord of the property where my Step grandad lived with 2 other lodgers plus this Mr Leslie Robins wife. At least that is settled. Thanks.

Thanks Gail

Hi Heather, I have been to the Surrey History Centre, wonderful place, the staff there are very helpful. Why don't you send them an e-mail. It's worth a try.

As far as I know, most electoral rolls haven't been filmed so it is highly unlikely that you could order the film from your local library. I've looked at electoral rolls in archives and local history centres. Some have been bound and on shelves; others, more frail, have been in the original, falling apart binders and I've had to order them individually from a store room. nell

I'm probably wrong anyhow,but it was like the ladies room inthere. Look it stillaffects me now,my typing going to pot. Glen

Ill ask Glen at my library - thanks.

My local library told me they can order microfiche or film (voters role)of the records from other libraries,never tried it but a friend asked while i was there one day. As i said maybe someone knows differently. Glen

So hes standing there with his tool in his hand, not knowing what to do next - well weve all had that before ladies, havent we. Thanks Merry, determined to find out who this Robins person was.

What films, Glen? Heather, he needs to know what to do with his Black and Decker and this flippin' Ladies Sign for directing people towards the Tesco online thread..... Now, electoral rolls: Try these peeps: Surrey History Service Surrey History Centre 130 Goldsworth Road Woking Surrey GU21 6ND 01483 594594 http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/surreyhistoryservice Holds material relating to the present administrative County of Surrey. If they don't have the rolls I bet they will know where they are! Merry

Hi Heather Best bet via the library i would think,but you would have to order the film if you are in a diferent part of the country. Unless someone knows different.................... By the way,i got the sign for the ladies but where do you want it? Glen

Anyone know where I could find who was at an address in Woking in 1948 please?
