By 1924 all men over 21 and women over 30 were enfranchised so it isn't strictly correct to say that there were not that many people who had the vote.

Whether they actually registered is another matter.....!

Good luck in your search.

Thanks Kath, What I was hoping to do is find out what infant schools there were at that time and search the streets in the local area. I know it will take time but thats ok. I;ve had success doing this in Birmingham. I was just wondering where to find the reference library, David x

Electoral Registers are usually kept at the nearest reference library to the address. However they can only be searched by address and not by a person's name, so without the address it would take an awful long time to go through the Electoral Register for the whole area.

At that time there were not that many people who had the vote so not sure that they would be registered anyway.

My father lived with his parents in Muswell Hill, London from the age of 2 for about 5 years and went to an infant school near to where they lived. What I'm hoping to do is search the electoral rolls to see if I can find out the address of where they were living. How can I find out where the electrol registers are?
