Depends on whether you want to look for someone now, or many years ago. Old electoral rolls are at records offices, libraries and local history centres. You can google to see where the ones you want are held. I believe the British Library at St Pancras has a complete set, but you need a reader's ticket and also to give them advance notice. Electoral rolls vary - I've looked in lovely bound volumes and also handled very frail originals. You do need an address or at least a ward (NB Parliamentary Wards are listed at the top of census pages) to find people, and of course e rolls only give people eligible to vote - so no men under 21 or women at all before 1918. There's no indication of how the people are related to eachother - or not - and no occupation given. nell |
