Hi Julie (and Christopher)
So far as I am aware there is no centralised record for the electoral rolls but rather each Local Authority would be responsible for keeping the roll for their area.
I myself, have looked at the electoral register for Dublin in The Dublin City Archives in Pearse Street where they have an excellent computerised search facility.
Louth County Council has a Genealogy service and they mention electoral rolls but for a much earlier period. I think it very likely that they would have registers of a more recent vintage too but in what format and how easily searched I couldn't say.
It would be well worth asking the question and they can be contacted at referencelibrary[at]louthcoco.ie
At the risk of sounding rude could I ask you how sure you are of the name Dello?
Do you have any "official documents" showing this name? Is it possible that it was an alias or a.k.a.?
Good luck in your search

Hi RonnieG, Yes I am as certain as I can be about the name, please excuse my ignorance but what is a a.k.a.? there were no official documents, with his name on, he wasnt adopted officially, just brought up by the McCann family, well I might add, he was a good man. He actually became a British citizen, after many years in the British Army, swearing on oath that what he said was what he thought to be true. Of course we had to advertise in the Irish newspapers pryor to that in case anyone new different. I am gratefull for any help anyone can give. Thankyou. Juliefay.
