Oooh dear, I was supposed to be doing a big blitz on h.......k this afternoon!

Oh well, the dust isn't going anywhere, it can wait.

I'm so glad they released it before my sub runs out.

There doesn't seem to be much of 1932 included.

Thanks Kate.

Managed to find a few but getting lots of error messages now so will wait till the initial rush has died down.

Voting used to be for those who owned property. When did everyone get to vote?

Scroll down that search page to "Who could vote and when" and it gives you the dates of each change to the franchise.

Thank you. Trying to work out if I should be able to find OH's elusive Thompson or not.

Also, it's worth reading their "Search tips" for information about how best to search. Though even after reading that, I'm not sure whether there is a quick way to do an address search.

I have to say I'm finding it hard work searching for people if I don't already know exactly where they were living, especially as you have to click to view the PDF each time and wait for it to load to see the names on the page and find out whether any of them matches the name you searched for.
