George Smith b1862, Standlake/Witney Oxfordshire, Mary Ann Smith
« on: Tuesday 18 December 18 11:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

The above lived in Stratford in 1917 and the electoral roll for Stratford is not online,  they are held at the Newham Archives in Stratford.

Is there anyone possibly going to the Archives at all that could look up a 1915 and 1918 Electoral Roll for me,  if not it is not a problem,  I will have to try and get there at some stage,  at the moment I am in Margate Kent.

Other names that would prob be on there is William James Smith, Albert E Smith b 1896 Lizzie Smith B1899.

If this is not allowed please accept my apologies Admin.

Sue

You would need a STREET address, as they are not indexed by name, and ONLY those of an entitlement to vote would appear.

Hi Pauline,

The address was 125 High Street, Stratford,  George, Mary, William would have been able to vote and so would his brother Albert E Smith.
