Thanks Mandy does that mean the only way to check a 1990 electrol reg would be to go to the library?

Mark Unless anyone knows better (!) I'm pretty sure that you can't access old electoral rolls online. There are various sites offering the current one, as well as people on this site offering lookups, but I don't think you will find old ones online. Mandy :)

Allen Green has a thread on the records board offering look ups on the current electoral roll. Might be worth a try. Diane

I know they lived in Birmingham all of their life and died in 1990 is there any way I can find electrol rolls for this date online? Thanks for your help

For old electoral rolls, try the local library, the local County Council offices, or the nearest LDS centre. Mandy :)

Sorry, I forgot to mention that if you look up the deceased death registration details on Rootsweb BMD it will tell you where the death was registered.

If you know where the person lived ? there maybe an obituary in the local newspaper? which might also give the names of any relatives? Or, you could look at the Electoral Roll prior to their death? Hope this helps ?
