  • a little help needed

    does anyone know if theres such a thing as an electoral register for 1925

    im looking for a john platt who lived at 1 chapel cottages, old lane, withington
    (address from marriage certificate) he was apparently living with his mother before he got married and as i dont know who his mother was, im hoping i could find out from an electoral register
    if there is such a thing, where would i go to view it.

    thanks

    Yes, there would be an electoral register - you would need to go to the country record office for whatever county Withington is in to look at it, or perhaps the main library for that area will also have it.

      But not all women had the vote in 1925, so you will have to cross your fingers and hope she was one of the lucky ones who did!

          It would be worth trying local directories for the area too.

          If she's not on the electoral role she could still be found in there if she was the main householder.

          And remember to check on a few years in both sources if you don't find her in 1925 - she's may well have stayed there even after her son moved out.
