Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Electoral Rolls for 1913 - 1921
« on: Friday 03 July 15 12:00 BST (UK)  »
Can I view any electoral rolls for the years between 1912 and 1922 on my computer? I'm totally stuck and this would seem to hold the promise of some answers.

Thanks for that info Stan. From what you say then it would seem likely that he might have worked in Sheffield's steel industry. The larger companies being out of town and nowhere near the centre of Sheffield. All food for thought when you're trying to platt fog. Thanks again.

My grandfather is shown on my mother's birth certificate as being a mechanical engineer. They lived in central Sheffield around the time of the first world war. Can anyone give me any idea what this job might be exactly and where someone doing this job might have worked at that time. Might it also have made him exempt from call up to fight? Many thanks for any help with this.

There is a Norton which is an area in Sheffield. If it's on a certificate then that could be a registration area?
