Ian, you need premium Ancestry membership to view the electoral rolls.
There isn't a search by address facility so unless you know the polling district a street is in it takes a bit of time to find it.

I will have to look up Lancefield Street later.

Hi KenSE
Again thank you for your kind help

Mary would NOT have had the right to vote.............so the ER is irrelevant

The 1904 roll for 35 Lancefield Street has Mrs Jane King, but I see you have that already.

Reggie, some women were on the electoral rolls for local and county elections.

What criteria were there for this inclusion?

For anyone to be on the list, he/she would have had to have been residing at the address when the ER was compiled..............and that would not have been in December

Following an act of 1869 women were included if they paid rates and were unmarried. They could not vote in parliamentary elections. Up to 1953 the qualifying date for London Metropolitan electoral rolls was June or July, after 1953 it was October.

I've been tracing back on Jane King, to see if her family connects to Reginald Walter King.

Unfortunately I've not yet come across a connection between the two families.

I believe Jane King (nee Sully) married Frederick William King (a coachman) born 1858. (His father was William King).

Reginald Walter King's father was George William King born 1850 in Tonbridge.

But I can't find any Frederick King's born in Tonbridge in 1858, or thereabouts. And I'm not sure that Reginald King would know Jane King if the relationship went back further than that.


Ian - If you want me to explain this more fully I will do, of course. I did't want to fill your thread with a lot of information which turned out to be irrelevant.

Plus, despite numerous explanations from very patient helpers, I STILL can't copy & paste without my copies having large spaces between each line.

Out of interest - Who did Reginald Edworthy name as his father on his marriage certificate?
