Hi Is it possible to search electoral registers online, or can you view them somewhere. Also, were electoral registers taken each year from around 1930 onward. Thanks for any advice or help. Jo

Yes, except for the war years. There arent any old registers on line - you can apply to the local records office and ask for a look up though - Ive done it.

Hi there, I use www(.)onlinesearches(.)info/ Just remove the brackets. Has been invaluable to me. Cost £10.75 for 1 month depending on what you are looking for. Good luck Jane

I may be wrong but I think that http://www.onlinesearches.info/ only gives access to the current Electoral Roll. You can also try the main library for the area in question.

Yes I believe that website is the current roll plus there is other stuff on there they are charging for which is free on ancestry. For the current'ish roll B4U is free - but they have been down whilst updating recently.
