Would like to know if electoral rolls exist for Sudbury in Suffolk for the period 1850 to 1900. If so who would be included on them.? Was there ever a Queens St in Sudbury, or has it always been Queens Road? Finally, what schools were available to the working class during the 1860s and 1880s
Thanks C

Charmaine, if you are looking for ancestors during this period you need to look at census reports - very few men could vote for most of it, and no women. Suggest you google search "19th century education" for the information you want , as there is a lot out there.

Did a random search on 1911 for a Queens st (just specified anyone with name beginning with "S"!) and this came up, so it seems it did exist:
SPARKS JOHN M 1872 39 Sudbury Suffolk

From Charmaine Fab, thanks for that. I am trying to find the Williams family said to be ( according to grenadier service records) living there in 1885.

If you want a search, you need to give names, year and place of birth for all the family members you know.
