Thread: Electoral Register look up please

From the 1939 BT Phone Book i have DOROTHY FURNISS listed as living at 9 High Wickham Hastings and wondered if there is anyone else listed in the Registers as living with her at that address?

Would there be any mention of her in previous/subsequent years?



Cheers

If you want a 1939 look up you could probably get one by emailing the relevant library authority.



If you want to know how long she lived there you would need to go and look it up but most libraries will do one year if you have a specific address.

Could i use any local library or do i need to go the relevent library to view?

you need to go to the relevant library/archive ie where the electoral rolls are kept. It will be the central library probably that you could email. Sometimes they are on microfilm, sometimes in bound volumes, sometimes loose sheets.



The British Library in St Pancras London has a vast set but not all of them are kept on site so you need to check before you go and I think you would also need a readers' ticket.

Thanks but i have no chance of getting there as i live "up north" and my chances of getting "down south" are zilch (

So yu will have to save your pennies and pay for the library/records office to look it up for you - unless you can find someone willing to do it free.
