This link to The genealogist :

https://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/researchguide/poll-books--electoral-registers-141/

claims that once the secret ballot was introduced in 1872 poll books were no longer necessary and how a person voted was not available, so you want the electoral registers, which had been introduced in 1832.

Just a thought.

Most historic electoral registers are not online, and will be found at either county level, or a local library.

Great Bradley is part of the borough of St Edmundsbury.
So I would either try their library services or the Suffolk Record Office at Bury St Edmunds?

There is a village website, which has a family history section. Maybe worth a try?
