1910 electoral Roll; meaning of "Dwelling House (successive)"

[bugbear]

I have an ancestor who has this (see subject) against his name, in the "Nature of Qualification" column.

In the "Description of Qualifying Property" column there are multiple addresses.

Does this mean he moved between the addresses shown during the qualifying period, or that he owned all the properties shown?

To put it simply  Where the word "successive" appears in the registers it means that the elector had occupied, during the 12 months qualifying period, more than one property within the particular constituency, each of which was of a sufficient rateable value to qualify its occupier to vote.

I am new to this website but not completely new to family history but I would be grateful for some help.

I have found someone from my family tree in the Electoral registers shown in the register for Tower Hamlets, Stepney 1902 a Edward Albert Cedargreen but the entry raises two questions for me.
1) In the column Nature of Qualification it say for him Tenement. Most others listed are shown as Dwelling House. What's the difference?
2) His address is shown as 9 Sunnyside Road, Ilford. Ilford is not in Stepney so why does he/this address appear in the register for Stepney?
Any help gratefully received.

Welcome to RootsChat
A tenement is a  occupied by a number of families, and Edward Albert Cedargreen probably owned the property and was the landlord.

Hi Steric

Welcome to Rootschat

As I read it, Edward lived in Ilford but owned a tenement (block of flats) at 2 Charles Rd Stepney which qualified him to vote in Stepney. Although in 1898 he is living at 2 Charles St and it is listed as a dwelling house - perhaps he rented the house out to several families once he moved to Ilford and so it wasn't a purpose built tenement block.

In 1910 Edward Albert Cedargreen's nature of qualification is a Warehouse 2 Charles Street Tower Hamlets but his address is still 9 Sunnyside Road, Ilford. So it looks a though the building had changed purpose from a tenement to a warehouse but still in his ownership.

In 1901 he has moved to Ilford but 2 Charles St is still a dwelling house. It is a tenement 1902-1906 then, as Stan said becomes a warehouse, first listed as such in 1907. Intriguing.

Edward Albert Cedargreen was a clothing manufacturer.
