Member Since: October 2003 Posts: 5 Send Message	Hello and a Happy New Year from a wet and dismal Devon. Could somebody point me in the right direction to look at Electoral Registers for Willesden Middlesex.? As an adopted child I have traced my mother and her sisters who have all now passed away. Their father, my grandfather worked for the London Midland & Scottish railway as an accounts clerk. I have the family in Beethoven St Willesden up to the 1911 census and then in 1945 I have my grandmother and 2 daughters in Burnham on Sea in Somerset. Where can I access the Electoral registers to chart their history during the 1920’s and 30’s? Best regards. Mike Crouch

	Mike Old registers are searched by address, not surname, so unless they stayed in the same street for a long time, it may be difficult to keep track of them. Old E.R. registers are usually found in a main library or archive local to the address. Information was collected in the October for publication the following year. EDIT Women won't feature in early lists unless they are home owners. Gwyn
