Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 0 Send Message	Please could anyone tell me where the electoral rregister for Gateshead 1903-4 is held. I have been unable to trace my grandfathers birth, despite and extended search by GRO staff. The last address for the family I have is 18 Mary Lane Gateshead on the 1901 census and I think my next step is to try to find out if they were still there at the time of grandads birth. Thanks Jo

I have located the family on previous census returns I have Grandads marriage (with his father named) and death certs indicating his birth to be around 1903. I've also tried searching for 'male' infant in the birth indices, but need to idenitfy the family home. I'm hoping to confirm his parents address and then try searching appropriate Parish records. Thanks again Jo
