Thankyou all for all your effort
And explaining how it works
Bye for now and Thankyou
Olive

She won't show on the electoral rolls until she was of voting age so born 1919 she wouldn't show till 1940
The exception would be the 1939 register as this was compiled for ww2 identity cards and ration books

However when that was composed it was assured would be closed for 100 years

When the NHS stated in1948 it was used to issue NHS nos and was updated for deaths that has occurred and woman who had married

It's been updated several times since and records opened for those that have passed away

It's not up to date on open records but a record can be requested to be opened on proof by a death cert

Again Vera is still alive so she is a closed record

For when Vera did marry then those would be at the local area where she lived

I believe though they aren't searchable by name but by address
But no electoral rolls were taken in WW2

Thankyou for your reply

Really strange we can’t find Vera Wilson born 1919 (nee Cook )
When she was married to James Barry Wilson , on the Electroles

My Mum Veras sister and Dad are on the Electroles
You all helped me to find then
Anyway Thankyou
Bye for now
Olive

Earlier electoral rolls are available from the main library for the areas

Pre 2002 aren't online

The exception is Ancestry that does have some London electoral rolls but they are the exception rather than the norm

Find My Past has some ER's for the 1920's / early 30's

From originals -

1930/31 shows also Harry Archibald and Clarice Cooke at the same address.

Against each person are 2 codes, the first gives the qualification for Parliamentary elections, the second for local elections. A dash indicates voter couldn't vote in that election.
In 1931
Harry is R (Residence Qualification) and O (Occupational qualification)
Olive is Rw (residential qualification - women) and Dw (Qualification through husband's occupation.) Both shown as HO pre 1928
Harry Archibald is R and a dash
Clarice is Rw and dash

Harry also has a J by his name which indicates he was eligible for Juror service each year

No Clarice 1929 and Harry Archibald only qualifies R dash
1927/28 - only Harry and Olive

The cert shouid hopefully give a home address

Online electoral rolls don't start till 2002

The family seem consistently to be at the Nottingham address

If she was at home , same address as she was when she went to NY she would be the closed record

Going to the same address in Nottingham

They would only go through Ellis Island as an immigrant not as a visitor

Ellis island closed in Nov 1954

My nan went to Canada in the 1940,s. She went via New York and then travelled onwards . She didn't go through Ellis Island as she was only a visitor

The vessel your aunt travelled on though was going to Halifax and her intended future residence was Canada

Thankyou
For your help Maybe Vera went to New York on her way home As Vera talked about New York
As she only stayed about 1-2 years

Would the records be at Ellis Island As would love to see them
Vera is my Mothers Sister
Olive

That Canada one is the correct one home address

50 Pierrepont Road Nottingham

So she went to Canada in 1954
