Ancestry.govt.uk for hereford 1927 to 1935
« on: Sunday 08 October 23 05:51 BST (UK) »
When I look on ancestry.govt.uk for electoral rolls for Hereford i can only find ones from 1960 under Gloucestershire.  I am wanting to search Hereford electoral rolls for the period around late 1927 to 1935.  I am searching from overseas so am not able to physically go to look at old electoral rolls.  I am also aware there were electoral boundary changes.

First, Ancestry is not the be-all and end-all of genealogical research!
They do not hold ALL Electoral Registers/

Second the correct URL is Ancestry.co.uk.

Finally, did you mean Hereford City or Herefordshire (county)?
Try Herefordshire Archives.
https://archive-catalogue.herefordshire.gov.uk/records/CJ46
They have a research and copying service!

N.B. Electoral Registers are indexed on an address basis.
