Electoral Roll for Lanarkshire
« on: Wednesday 29 April 15 00:34 BST (UK) »
Hello All

Does anyone know if Electoral Rolls for Lanarkshire between 1935 & 1941 are available online or if not, where would I obtain information

Many thanks

I  think that the  electoral roll was suspended until after WW2,and started again in 1947.

I don't think there is such a thing as a central roll for the entire county, each burgh would have had its own roll and those areas outwith the burghs would have been kept, I think, at the county administration which may have been in Hamilton. According to your previous post on this subject your mother was living in Wishaw, so why not start there?
