Completed - Belfast Voting/Electoral Lists 1936?
« on: Saturday 11 February 06 17:02 GMT (UK) »
Hello all, does anyone know if there are any Voting or Electoral Lists for Belfast around 1936 or earlier and if so, where are they kept?

I'm after Thomas Keenan & Kathleen Keenan or Rooney who shoud be at 75 Westmoreland Street.  I'm trying to work earlier & see how long they lived there and if there were any relatives there as well.

Any help or advice welcomed.  Regards, TonyR.

Hiya Tony,

Sorry for the delay in replying to your query. I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one who has a titter of wit and takes the trouble from time to time to phone the Irish and Local Studies department in the Central Library, Royal Avenue, Belfast if a query arises which cannot be answered. It only takes a few minutes and the librarians there are extremely helpful. An email would produce a similar result.

Here's the answer to your question. I checked with the Central Library in Royal Avenue on Friday 24th November. I was told they hold the Rolls from about 1946 onwards. They have one for the 1930s but it is not complete.

All the Best in your search,

Chris
