Is it possible to access UK electoral rolls from the 1950/60s?
Would these be held in local or national achieves?
I am especially interested in the Bridgend County Borough and London areas.
All suggestions gratefully received.

They will be at the local main library for the areas

Some London ones though are online on ancestry


Can take a look if you don’t have subs to ancestry

I have found the librarians at Bridgend to be super helpful in the past.

If you are able to give them the required information, they may be able to help via e mails.

ER's obviously include only people who have registered to vote
