Poll books are interesting but in early years a comparative handful of influential residents were listed. Things improved by 1885 with many more people listed and in 1918 electoral books list most men over 21 and ladies over 30.

A little reminder that not everything is online. Transcriptions of parish records compiled by #FamilyHistory Societies and sold for a modest fee can be an excellent resource. I bought some this morning and have already used 25 records just for one family. I have other families still to look at.
