You will need to know the 'ward' that any address is in.

And why do we seem to expect everything to be made available to us, for our research convenience.

All the records we use were never originally made for us, but for 'official' use, I just think we are lucky that we have access to any records at all.

You will have to go to the local library of the town where these people lived to see them.

PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.

Why are we limited to searching 2002 - 2013 in the electoral roll? For example I wanted to check the rolls for 1970, 1980 and 1990 and I couldn't.
