1826 Westmorland electoral poll book
« on: Sunday 28 December 08 21:21 UTC (UK) »
There is a scanned copy of the "Poll for knights of the shire to represent the county of Westmoreland taken at Appleby in 1826" available in the internet archive.

Using search terms "Westmoreland poll knights" should be sufficient to locate it (but note the extra e in Westmorland).

It then serves as a census for all males eligible to vote in the Westmorland election of 1826 and their place of residence.   The poll was taken on successive days between Thursday 22 June and Saturday 1 July (excluding the Sunday).

You need to be in on the internet archive site which is www.archive.org.  (If you type "internet archive" into google it should come up as one of the hits.)  This takes you to their index/search page and then you can type in the search terms.

There are poll books for other counties and lots of other books on Westmorland including lots of CWAAS publications.
