Burgess Roll Auckland: searchable
« on: Monday 05 October 09 02:17 UTC (UK) »
Apologies if everyone knew this but me
http://0-www.aucklandcity.govt.nz.www.elgar.govt.nz/dbtw-wpd/CityArchives/FamilyHistory/ACC396/searchburgessrolls.htm
includes years from 1872 to 91
"Burgess rolls were compiled and printed according to directions included in the Municipal Corporations Act 1867. The burgess rolls for the City of Auckland record the names of all adults who owned or occupied rateable property there. Each person on the burgess roll was automatically entitled to cast between one and five votes, depending on the annual rateable value of his or her property. The owner or occupier of a property rateable at less than £50 had one vote, while an owner or occupier with rateable property valued at £350 or more had five votes. The Municipal Franchise Reform Act 1898 abolished plural voting."

I was searching them, remember when we were hunting for addresses for Joy and Wilson's can't recall what street we were hunting..was it Cook St, because there is a Wilson there..anyway that's another story  Wink

Bye

Yeah  ... how could we forget.   Cheesy   Cheesy   Grin

Nah, nah  ... the "Cook" name belonged to Mary.

Pretty sure it was Liverpool Street ?

[ANYWAY ... I'll let you smack my hand, if that's wrong.]   Wink  Cheesy
