1868 Poll Book
« on: Saturday 14 August 04 09:29 BST (UK) »
Hello Fitty, is this Poll Book like a voter's list and if so could you do a look-up please?   It's for a THOMAS DAY, a blacksmith & wife SARAH at 48 Turkey Street, Hunslet. They were there in 1865, so hoping they are still around in 1868.  Many thanks, TonyR

I've found a Thos Day in Weavers Sq,  he voted United Liberal.  Weavers Sq was in East Ward Div 1.  So went and checked the 1861 and guess what!!!

14, Weavers Sq
Thos Day Head 48 Tin Plate Worker - Manchester
Ann/Amy Day 38                              Ireland
John Day   19     Tin Plate Worker    Sheffield
Maria Day  6                                  Leeds

Hello Fitty, thanks for the look-up.  The Tin Plate worker and Blacksmith bit looked good, but Thomas has a different wife and the kids names are new to me as well, so I do not think it's my man.

Thanks again Fitty.  Regards TonyR
