Registers Since 1832; and Burgess Rolls. Jeremy S. W. Gibson.
(1990). Published annually since 1832, electoral registers list
the names and addresses of everyone entitled to vote, noting the
qualifications which brought each voter onto the register, such
as current residence or ownership of property. During most of
the 19th century the printed registers were arranged in
alphabetical order by constituency, while later they were
arranged in street order by parish. Thus they are used widely by
genealogists as a tool to locate individuals in the various
decennial censuses. Until now there has never been a guide
showing just where these amazingly informative lists can be

registers held in libraries and record offices throughout
