hi ya all is there any way i can find who lived at an address in 1927 xxxxxxxxx

yes you need to look at the electrol roll for that year and area, Roy

Can you tell me where you can look on an electoral roll pls. Clare

Electoral rolls are normally held in the major libraries in the area you want to look in. If you google the libraries for the town you want, they may show what they hold on the pages.

They are normaly kept at the local study's library or local archives Roy

thank you all i will have a go xxxxx

I found this post interesting because Im in exactly the same position as you. But I was told electoral rolls werent taken in 1927 only the Kellys directory of voters is available...and women didnt vote til 1930 so the womans name Im looking for wouldnt be on it anyway. I dont want to trek all the way to Bridgend to find I cant get my info, so can someone advise what the correct information is? Thanks!! (PS: Have written to the current owners of the house enclosing an SAE but they haven't replied!)

Hi Rebeka, I did not know that, will have to investigate !!

http://www(.)familia(.)org.uk/libraries.html (remove brackets) Look for the area you are interested in, then check out what that local studies library holds, you will find their address, email and telephone no. My local one has the electoral roll for 1927 - each area will probably vary in what they hold. Good Luck

Women over 30 could vote from 1918.

Have just emailed records office in Bridgend. Good luck Toria.
