Does anyone have access to electoral rolls for Yorkshire for the years 1897, 1903 and 1906.  I have birth certs for my grandmother and two of her brothers and I would like to check to see the name of the person living at the addresses given on the birth certs as I think there may possibly be a 'name change/alias' for the parents.  I have my grandmothers brother Ernest Gilbert born December 1897 fathers name Harry Gilbert, address 4 Sydney Street, another brother Harry Gilbert born February 1903 fathers name Harry Gilbert, address 3 Garfield Terrace, York and my grandmother Lily Gilbert born January 1906, fathers name Ernest Gilbert, address Long Lane, Harlow Hill, Harrogate.  I can find no trace of the family in the 1901 census but have found them on the 1911 census when they are living in Dublin Ireland.  My grandmothers birth cert is the only certificate that the fathers christian name is Ernest.  I would be very interested to see if he is listed on the electoral rolls under either Ernest or Harry.  Any advice regarding further research into the family would be really gratefully received

Yes I think they were but I have not been able to find them on 1901 census. It's very frustrating!

Thank you I will look on the military board.  Sorry to be so vague I am new to all of this.

Thanks for reply.  I am really trying to find out who John Hayward's (born 1820), parents were.  I have traced him back to 1841 census but he is not living at home with his parents.  The problem is I have no proof that his parents came from the Goudhurst area?
