You cant do it online. And remember only householders were listed, not the whole family. Try your local records office.

Universal franchise for men over 21 and women over 31 didn't come in until after the first world war, so unless you are looking for a land owner, it is possible that they did not have the vote until after 1919.

It may be worth you contacting the W'ton archives, they may cover shifnal electoral rolls for that period. Tel: 01902 552480. They are very helpful, so may be able to tell you where they are held.

Good Luck
