1818 Westmorland electoral poll book
« on: Monday 29 September 08 17:08 UTC (UK) »
There is a scanned copy of the "Poll for knights of the shire to represent the county of Westmorland" available under Google books.

Using search terms "poll knights shire Westmorland" should be sufficient to locate it.

It then serves as a census for all males eligible to vote in the Westmorland election of 1818 and their place of residence.
