Hi, does anyone know how I can access the elcetoral rolls from 1920`s? I am trying to find them for Blackpool, but have been told that I need to be amember of the Blackpool library to access thier reference section, but then I was told about inter-library loans. Does anyone know how I can look at these. I live in Kent, so a visit to Blackpool is quite remote at the moment. Thanks

I would suggest giving the main library for Blackpool a ring, explain your situation, and ask their advice.

I somehow doubt they would send a roll as an inter library loan but they may be willing to search for you if you have enough info for them to find the answer easily.

Good luck
Chris
