There are a lot of questions asked on GR boards about Electoral registers but unfortunately some of the enquirers seem to think that they are some form of census substitute, they are not. |

I would just add that the recent on-line registers are also indexed by name. |

On recent registers you can find some people's ages, as those who become eligible to vote during the validity of the register have the relevant date (i.e. their 18th birthday) indicated. But that's all, and it doesn't prove anything about relationships. |

Sorry I'm late, uncle Jonesey, but I've been to see Santa and the Christmas lights in Plymouth. I found a list of names of the people who sailed in the Mayflower as they supposedly spent their last night in England at the building which now houses the Plymouth gin distillery. |

In the UK a form is sent out to all housholds around September and is to cover those resident on about 10th October. (I'm not sure if that is a fixed date). |

As far as I know there is no set time period for updating electoral registers but they are updated quite regularly prior to local or national elections, sometimes annually. |

Our form (prefilled with last years data) came yesterday with a note saying that as there is a vote on 15 Nov this year they want to complete the electoral rolls in good time. The qualifying date is 15th October. If there is no change you can confirm by internet frephone or text (SMS). |

Note that this year the rule on opting out has changed. You have to opt out of having your name made public specifically every year. It doesn't automatically stay the same as last year. |
