Is it possible to access either electoral rolls or a Kelly's Directory for Chesterfield any year in the 1920s without actually travelling up to Chesterfield, that is? Perhaps online? (Fingers crossed)

university of Leicester special collections has 1912 Kellys that covers up to 1919 I think.
Hope this link works!

Hi ruth52,
Thanks for this. I've had a look at it via the link but I only seem able to download 1912. Now, it's quite possible that I'm doing it wrong as I'm no expert when it comes to downloading things. shall try again or wait until my I get the chance to ask my son about it. It's much appreciated.
