Voter's List

[shearg]

I'm trying to find a Great Aunt's, Eva Beatrice MILSON, address in 1945 in Goxhill and wondered if she would be on this Voter's list. Any help appreciated. On the 1911 census they were living in Hull so that census doesn't help me and I'm not sure how else to find her. She died in 1947.

Electoral registers that are not online are only searchable by address. 

The free index for the 1939 register has her in Holderness R.D. - Yorkshire (East Riding)

The death certificate would give an address for her in 1947

What address is given on the Death Certificate?

Also, I think the first Electoral Register after WW2 was 1946?

Her death certificate gave "North End, Goxhill" as her address but no house number or name. She died at Brigg. Would the 1946 list give the actual house number or is North End the closest address I can get?

Funeral notice only gives address as Goxhill - funeral at Goxhill Church - widow of John

North End, Goxhill, will be the closest you will get.    I was born in North End, Goxhill, and I do not have a closer address.

Thanks for all your help. Is there any thing else I could check to see if I could find a house number. I was told she sold candy out of her house so is there anything to do with a business license?

Looking at the 1939 register, they were not numbered but - apart from farms and "named" houses - simply labelled "North End".

I would doubt she needed a licence for selling candy from home.  She was possibly just making sweets and selling them to the local children.  She would have been 70 in 1945.
