Ross-on-Wye, Hereford
« on: Thursday 24 August 23 08:32 BST (UK) »
I have a family member who lived in Ross-on-Wye, Hereford from about 1930.  I want to check electoral rolls for him - would I find this in Gloucestershire Electoral Rolls?  I do not know the area and am from NZ - doing this research online.

Thanks.

Unless ER's are online for the period of your search - you would need to have an address if you search at the records office as ER's there are in address order - not alphabetical
