Hello, My g.grandmother was baptized in 1894 at age 8, along with a younger brother and sister, on the record it states the abode of 106 Winstanley road, Battersea, when i have looked on electoral roll in 1893,4 and 5 there is a Sarah Ash at this address, where my family surname is Ford can anybody enlighten what may be going on here. Thank you

If somebody wanted to get married in a particular parish/church or baptise their children but lived outside the boundary - they would give a local address to satisfy the requirement.  Perhaps that's what your Ford family did

in 1891 there were two households at 106 Winstanley Road. In 1901 there were three.

Bear in mind that most people did not have the right to vote in the 1890's. The electoral register would only list those who were qualified, either as property owners or through the level of rent they paid.

Thank you, I did not know not everybody was listed, i thought if you lived there you were registered there. Thanks again
