Hi Nell - are you meaning LDS centres and do they only hold the ones for local areas or could they order others in for you? Trudy

I didn't know that, Nell, that's useful to know. Joy

Electoral rolls are sometimes at local history centres. I was able to trace my gt grandfather from the 1890s-1932 from them and as a bonus found that his brother-in-law lived next door, with his first wife and family, then with 2nd wife (gt grandfather's sister). nell

You would need to visit the relevant library to search them, or write to the library and ask if someone would do that. Joy

Is there any way of looking at old electoral rolls and checking when someone was at a specific address. I have a picture taken c.1910 that has a message written on the back of it from the photographer to my grandmother giving an address in London. Would I be able to check this address for a period of time to see when she was living there and with whom - or am I going to have to wait for the 1911 census!!!!! Trudy
