Finding occupants of an address is possible but takes a few minutes. I'll do it if no one else volunteers.

In Camberwell 1946 the Peckham entries start at Image 268 (of 376) with an index of Streets against Polling Districts. Within a polling district, streets are usually listed alphabetically so it is easy to home in on a particular address.

Actually the Peckham records for 1946 are on line on Ancestry. They are under Camberwell that year.

Not online .old rolls would be in the local main library

They didnt take electoral rolls in WW2 though as many were away in the war or were evacuated from the London area to the midlands etc. I didnt come home from Birmingham till Jan 1946.

You could try emailing the local library or ringing them ,they may do a look ups for you as you arent in the area.


took a look they seem to be at the LMA try this site

Does anyone know if it's possible to see old electoral rolls on line. I am looking for Peckham London 1946. I know you can go to local town hall but this is hundreds of miles away.
