Just checking .... 1946 Service Register - I have been told this was an electoral roll for those who were living in the catchment area who had not yet been demobbed.  Can anyone confirm or expand please.

I've seen a separate section at the end of the registers for areas of large populations and smaller populations have the named entries superceded with an 'S'.

Hi, yes there is a 1946 register. It can be found on ancestry but only for the West Yorkshire area.
Other areas will probably be at the National Archives or somewhere like that.
