Women over the age of 21 didn't get the vote until 1928. In 1918, votes were granted to women over the age of 30 who were householders, the wives of householders, occupiers of property with an annual rent of £5, and graduates of British universities.

In that basis, there's still a chance that she wasn't on any ER until 1928.

Have you searched on Ancestry? They have a number of historical ER data bases but do tend to be larger urban conurbations. If she was married, it would be best to search for her husband & assume they were living together.

Well they are held at the local main library for the areas they lived ,but aren't searchable by name it's by address which won't help if you don't have an address

Ancestry though does have London electoral rolls to 1965 online

If you want some new eyes to take a look then post some details including birth year ,spouse and children if any

Have you found her in the 1939 register? When was she born?

Modern versions are ok for locating living family members, it is claimed. BUT--what about between the wars? I read that they are spartan, and there is no central place to apply for info, as various local council Library's , and private collections hold most of them. I have been trying to locate my aunt Annie Casey for 14 years, without success, and Electoral rolls seem like the last call. Arfermo.
