Electoral Rolls were not indexed by name, you need to know the address before you can find someone. This arrangement is a major drawback for the genealogist and even with a street address a search may take a great deal of time.

Durham Western Registration District covered a large area. You can see the civil parishes it contained at http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/durham%20western.html
