Can anyone tell me if it's possible to do an electoral roll search on an address, and if yes, is it possible to do a retrospective search for 1951 - or am I confusing electoral roll with census, in which case it's no good anyway! |

Electoral Rolls will still exist for 1951 , but only in the libaries /CRO for the town concerned , not on line. |

It is possible that there may also be trade or street indexes for the area for that year depending on the library....I phoned Carlisle library up once asking for a lookup in the 1960's,only had a name-half an hour later she called me back with an adress.........I then went to tracesmart and put that adress in a special search section and it tells you who lives inthe same adress now. |

Thank you. So if I contacted the CRO for Chelsea, which is where the address is, they should be able to tell me who was living there in 1951? |

not necessarily- I was using a little library- a county records office is different and you often need to register to use them and go in person-some do lookups but it isnt guaranteed-the other factor is that some libraries get stuffy about data protection and refuse to hand out details over the phone -it varies. |
