Scotland Resources / Link: 1832 Electoral Roll for Perthshire
« on: Monday 01 June 09 12:57 BST (UK)  »
After a little break I have continued transcribing the 1832 Perthshire Electoral Roll . I have posted the Abernethy and Auchtergaven Parish  lists on my web site . Click on  http://caledonianconnections.com/default.aspx for all the details . Quite sizeable one with details of names , places and occupations . Parishes now included in addition to the above are : Crieff, Comrie, Auchterarder , Dunning , Balquhidder, Fowlis Wester, Monzie , Monzievaird and Strowan and Madderty . These are significant as they were the first ones published after the 1832 Reform Act when people eligible to vote  increased up to ten fold . In particular included many tenant farmers for the first time .

Useful to use the NLS web site for a contemporary map of the area
