Sheffield Electoral Rolls

[Towdlass]

I am hoping that there might be someone out there who intends visiting the Sheffield Local Studies Library in the near future and who would be kind enough to look something up for me. I understand that this section of the library are the custodians of the electoral rolls for the early part of the last century. The year I am interested in is 1920. I know that there are some years which no longer exist but I am hoping that 1920 or failing that 1919 or 1921 might.

The electoral registers are compiled by constituency, then ward and then alphabetical by street address within the ward.

Have you established which Sheffield Consituency?

See Cheffins Guide, page 261-262

Just because the address is in a particular constituency now doesn't mean it was the same one 100 years ago as the boundaries have changed many times in between.

Thanks for that dawnsh. I was just going to see if anyone was willing to do the check for me before going into detail but the info you've given me will help me to nail it down a little more.

Can I withdraw this look up request. I have managed to get around it another way. Many thanks.
