Default Warwickshire Electoral Rolls

Research for a friend, so nothing to add to BK6 from this thread

I'm not sure if Tanworth-in-Arden is close to any big town/city!

I know A H Shaw lived at "Faraway" Wood End, Tanworth-in-Arden, Warwickshire from 1937 or before, through to at least 1946 or possibly later. Research tells me his first name is most likely Albert, but I am having trouble matching him up with his wife who ought to be Gwen. I was thinking the electoral rolls might tell me her first name

Thanks for reading.

Perilously close to Birmingham...stockbroker belt - Nick Drake and Mike Hawthorn are buried in the churchyard

Presumably Mike Hawthorn is the well(?) known motor-cycle chappie.

Indeed Uncle John and Nick Drake is the singer from the late 60s, early 70s. His grave is covered in plectrums (or should I say plectra?)

I'm just wondering where the electors rolls might be kept - probably at Warwick
