Would it be too difficult to trace someone through...
« on: Monday 31 July 06 13:53 BST (UK) »
Hi

I think I know the answer but incase it's been digitalised and I don't know!  how difficult would it be to trace someone on the electoral rolls for 1947 and 1948 based on very little information?

All I know is her first names were Flo(Florence) Maud (or Mary) Gregory but she was married by this time and I have no idea of her married surname.

The only possible surnames may be Jago/Kirke/Allen/Furmage or May and they lived in the Plymouth area.  She had a son and maybe a daughter who were both married by this time probably.

She went to Australia in about 1849/50.

If only I could get to the census of 1941!!!!!  She was a dressmaker so perhaps she is in a directory?

What does do think!

Many thanks

Alas, there wasn't a census in 1941 because of the war.
