Pontypridd & Ynysybwl electoral registers
« on: Thursday 10 May 18 21:25 BST (UK) »
Hello! Would anyone happen to know whether historic electoral registers for Pontypridd and Ynysybwl are available anywhere online - and, if so, where?
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Steve

Thanks, Sam, but if they are, I can't find them. Frustrating...

Thank you, Ruthie. That's disappointing. Any chance you could send me the link to where you found that out, please? I don't know my way around FindmyPast nearly as well as Ancestry, and I'm going around in circles trying to find out. Thanks so much.

No they go back in some parts to 1871. I've found some that go back to 1904 for Wood street and other streets in the graig Ward of Pontypridd.

Type in surname, Location  Glamorgan, type in Pontypridd in the optional Keyword box and select a year. I put in Jones, Glamorgan, Pontypridd, 1905+5. You can then scroll through pages if necessary.

Thanks very much for that step-by-step description, Sam - just what I needed. It doesn't seem to be a very intuitive search function... It's a shame that the results don't show you at least the street names unless you take out a subscription - looks like that's my next step.

Thanks again for your help, Sam.
