Look at the Croydon site which I have added to my last post, but without an address you don't have much hope.

No Rolls were collected for 1940-1944 as no elections were held for these years.

This is a particularly good example of a Local authority site which sets out what is available.

Electoral Rolls were suspended during WWII.

Not sure exactly when they were re-introduced but you will have to visit the library / archive centre for the area you are interested in as only very recent ones are on-line as pay-per-view.

You will only be able to search by address as there are no name indexes.
