New Search Features

We are adding two useful search features to as many of our indexes and transcripts as possible:

Name Variants

Use this option to search for different spellings of a name. For example, Bailey and Bayley. This technique uses the phonetical sound of the word to find similar sounding matches.

Nicknames

Use this option to search for nicknames which may have been used instead of the standard name - for example Betty, Betsy, Beth or Liz for Elizabeth.

Indexes which have these features will show a checkbox alongside the appropriate name entry fields so you can include them if you wish.

POLL BOOKS – FINDING THAT MISSING ANCESTOR www.GenealogySupplies.com

Poll Books were authorised by an Act of Parliament of 1696 and were published until 1871. They are an early form of electoral register and are useful for finding a person before civil registration (1837) and the census.

They list individuals who voted in elections and identify the candidate for whom they voted. The details supplied and the layouts of poll books vary from election to election. The details they can provide include:

• The full names of voters (often in alphabetical order)
• Their occupation/status.
• Their place of residence.
• The number of the candidate for whom they voted.

Eligibility to vote depended on local custom and the value of the property they owned. In 1867 they extended eligibility to all householders that had been in residence for more than a year and those lodgers that paid £10 or more per annum.

Here is a list of Poll Books we have available:

• London 1768 Poll Book £ 14.95
  This gives the livery company (Trade) full name and abode for all those that voted in the election.
• London , Westminster Poll Book 1774 £ 14.95
• London , Westminster Poll Book 1841 £ 14.95
• London , Westminster Poll Book 1818 £ 14.95
