If you started a thread on Find Ancestors, fellow GR members may be able to find records/give specific advice.

An adult 21 or over in 1945 might conceivably be deceased. If you haven't already done so, try looking for a marriage and the possibly deaths of both partners. If they have passed on prior to 2006, their year or date of birth will be on the index.

Good luck

IF you can find one for 1945 (there weren't any during WW2) it wouldn't show their ages, only that they were over 21 to be able to vote.

The ER is only search-able by address, so you do need that to start. Main library close to the address would probably hold copies, or at least point you in the right direction.
