I would also check out the Midlands Historical Data site. It's unusual in that you can access certain electoral registers online - you have to pay but I understand it's pretty cheap. Obviously ER's apply 1919 onwards.

Hi, I found the family of Laura Goodhead nee Ward and now would like to find a few others. There appears to be a large number of Ward families
around B/ham, in particular the Aston area in the 1890's
I hope to visit the Witton Cemetery in May this year and find the Ward family grave. Thanks for your help.
