I think you go to the local library or 192.com ,but i think that is for recent ones.

My sister in law used it for free in our library.

Can anybody access Electoral roles, where is the best place to do this?

Mary

Mary Report 13 Feb 2010 14:29

I have only found the one exact date match.........is that a good sign then?
Is there any site that can be scoured to learn somebody's movements in the decades 40's 50' 60's?
Any ideas folks?

I can only think to buy every birth cert. for 2nd and 3rd quarter 1903 in the name of William Bennett.

Mary

Mary Report 13 Feb 2010 14:08

Is there another William bennett born on the same day anywhere else.

I have received the death certificate for William Bennett.

I have a birth certificate 18/05/1903 and now a also death certificate in the same name, (same birth date) dated 03/02/77.
Does anyone know how I can catagorically tie the two together?

Paul

Paul Report 9 Feb 2010 18:38

I have sent off for the certificate guys, what is the likelihood of a William Bennett born on the same date....fairly low percentage do you think?

Paul

Paul Report 7 Feb 2010 15:28

Yes guys, you have the right William Bennett who married Rosa.
My father stated that his father was dead when he married my mum in 1959....but this may not have been correct.
Thanks for your efforts.

Can anyone with experience tell me where to look when some one disappears off the radar.
My Grandfather was born on 18th May 1903 William Bennett.
He married in 1932 and had my father.
His wife Rosa died in 1936...........and I don't know where else to look?
Any ideas?
