(O') Donovan...electoral rolls
« on: Saturday 23 August 08 19:39 BST (UK) »
Hello All, I'm hoping someone can advise me.

Can anyone advise if I can access electoral rolls for Birmingham c1922-1977?

If so are they indexed or would I need an address?

I am looking for a James Donovan b1890 Cork and his daughter Catherine Mary Donovan b 1918 Co Clare.

I need some info. from B'ham to help me in my Irish research.

Any help or advice would be most welcome.

Hi dafydd67,
Just found a couple of sites to help you - first source (Birmingham Central Library) will probably need an address; but second (pay per view) can be searched by name.
Hope they help.
