Just discovered that it doesn't seem to cover anything before 1847 although the title says 1835. (Not much help with my 3xg-grandfather who died in 1845!)

Well, don't worry because Dorset should be along soon.

Also you can look for famous (or infamous) people!

Some women are actually listed pre-1918 because they could vote in local elections if they qualified (e.g. as the householder). I've found my g-grandfather's first "wife" listed in 1904 at the address where they were living on the 1901 census, so I guess that means that they split up between 1901 and 1904.

When you have the viewing page up, there should be an "Options" button near the top which you can click on and select to use the Standard viewer.

What a brilliant resource.
The abbreviations are explained here, if anyone needs them: http://search.ancestry.co.uk/Browse/...dington.1937.3 |

Oh sorry, that's taken from the beginning of one of the rolls, and presumably only available to Ancestry members.
They'll apply to the earlier registers, when you had to own property or similar to be able to vote. Quick summary: Men R = Residence qualification B = Business premises qualification O = Occupation qualification D = Qualification through wife's occupation NM = Naval or military voter Women Rw = Residence qualification Bw = Business premises qualification Ow = Occupation qualification Dw = Qualification through husband's occupation NM = Naval or military voter J = juror SJ = special juror a = absent voters Last edited by Mary from Italy; 11-01-12 at 20:03. |
