Not quite right, Reggie. Some libraries have indexed them on microfiche, as I found out when I visited Barrow - in - Furness. If you don't know the address it might be worth ringing the relevant library and asking if they have indexed them.

Good point Reggie. Just one more thing - no electoral registers taken during the war.

The ones which are not online can be searched ONLY by address.

Electoral registers are normally kept at the nearest main library to the address. These have to be searched in person, but staff might do a lookup.
The only ones online I am aware of are London registers (not sure of years) and some Birmingham ones.
