Am I right in thinking that a man had to be 21 to vote in 1768? I have found a book listing the votes in an election in Leicester, which mentions one of my rellies, but previous records had suggested he was born in 1749, so would have been only 19. However he was married in 1767. with no mention on the parish record of him being a minor, so the other record could be a couple of years out.
Also, did a man have to be a landowner or have a profession to have the vote in those days?
Thanks
