Electoral look up please
« on: Monday 09 June 08 17:05 BST (UK) »

Is there any way someone could do a look up on the electoral roll for me? It would be for the Southampton area, the years, I am not sure how the rolls go. The 1940's and 50's perhaps? The woman's name was Sarah Ann Kearney. Might have went by Sarah A. Born 15 March, 1882. Possibly living with a Thomas Kearney. I am trying to solve a mystery and a friend said to look at the elctoral rolls. Being in the USA, I have no idea how to go about it.
Thank you for your help!

Even if the rolls are available, one would have to search by address, rather than by general area.
do you have that info to pass on?

Crud. I have no idea what her address was. At the moment, I only have an address for 1919 and 1969. In 1919 it was 22 Church Road, Woolston. In 1969 it was 21 Cleethorpes Road, Southampton. The rolls are not available then? I am sorry, I was led to believe that they were. Thank you so much for you information.

Crud.

Oh, we've all been there. A ray of light on our ancestors, and someone slams the door shut!  Undecided

Your reaction made me laugh out loud. Frustrating, this hobby, isn't it?!

Thank you Peter, that was Sarah's son. Sarah was my great grandmother and she ran off from her husband and their family to take up with another man. They ended up in the Southampton area. I am trying to find out who the other man was. Thank you for your help!

Pete,
Thank you so much! Fantastic! I have been told that I may be able to get the electoral rolls by contacting the Southampton Archives and letting them know that I am in the US and need help accessing the rolls. So I am off to do that. Thank you once again, you are the best!
