Women over 30 got the vote in 1919, over 21 in 1929.

Normally you have to search electoral registers in person, but you might like to check out this site- I think you need credits but I understand it's not very expensive:

www.midlandshistoricaldata.org


B'ham electoral registers are at the Central Library. You can request a lookup but they will charge.

I have been promising for an age to go and do lookups for other folks, hoping to go Tuesday so will have a look if you have no joy before then.

No problem Zena, you aren't expected to stay at your computer 24/7! Or maybe you should?!
I must check out that site for myself - although I live in Birmingham it can be surprisingly difficult to spare the time to go searchng in person.
