I am looking for information on when a
Mr W Roberts lived at 14 Rhyd-yDyed, Sketty Green, Swansea.
He would be living there prior to 1978 and I would like to find out his Christian name, when he lived there and also if there were others living there in the house with him at any time.
How would I go about finding out? Is there a web site with the electoral rolls I could look at for the 1960's & 1970's?
(The person I am looking for is not alive now.)
His name was in an old address book and I believe he will be a lead to other relatives.
Thanks
Judy

Hi Judy,
You could try the 192.com Site.
I think that you get a limited amount of free credits when you first register, but then have to pay.
Good Luck,
Romilly.

Thanks Romilly,
Does this site have Electoral Rolls as far back as the 1960's and 1970's?

I don't know Judy, - you'd have to take a look.
I did find this on there though:

Your other route is to email Swansea Library, and ask if they could do a Look-up on the 1978 Electoral Rolls for you...
Cheers, Romilly.

Hi Romilly,
Thanks again. Yes I did take a look but the results which came up were all within the last few years.
But I think your other idea is a good one to try too.

If the library won't do it or want a fee let me know (message me on this site) and next time I'm in the library I'll have a look. They have quite a few rolls there but until I look (if required to) I'm not sure which years are covered.

I had a quick look on-line Bernard, - (I'm in Hertfordshire) and this Link shows all of the Electoral Rolls held at Swansea Central Library:

Much more than I was expecting! I can't see anything on there about charges...perhaps it depends on how many Look-ups are required?
Romilly.

Thank you very much once again.
I have just e-mailed the library and see what transpires there.
If I get no joy I shall certainly take you up on your kind offer Bernard. Thank you.

Have had a reply from the library and they have been extremely helpful and suggested other courses of research. I was very impressed. :)
Thank you to all who replied.

Hi Jeffrey, I don't know what the library told you but Robert Wilfred Roberts is listed alone at 14 Rhyd y Defaid Drive from 1959 to 1963.
