Electoral Registers (1832 – present day)

These annual publications list people in a household who had registered to vote. There are no electoral registers for 1915 - 1917, and 1941 - 1944. Electoral registers are a useful resource for the local and family historian alike, and are most frequently used to:

• Locate missing individuals
  
• Discover how long families had been   resident at an address
  
• Find out the number of people in that   household who were eligible to vote
  
• Before 1918, they can be an indicator of   the economic position of the voter.
