Hi all, firstly may I wish everyone a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year, and wish you luck in your searching!

I could do with a favour if possible, but don't know what the protocol is for asking :? . My worldwide ancestry subs ran out, and I renewed for UK and Ireland. However, I could do with a copy of a 1963 Canadian voters list for one of my tree.

Is this something I could ask for on here?

Many thanks,

John

I don't think there's as much information as you had hoped

Many thanks Mary. I thought it might have had more household info, but at least I know which part of Ontario that they lived.

For future reference you can use the Ancestry Library Edition which covers the world for free at Crosby library. You can also access for free in the library on your one laptop or tablet.

There's a Family History help desk at the Crosby library upstairs on the 1st and 3 rd Fridays of the month run by our society. You're very welcome to pop in and ask us questions on those Fridays 10 -12 .

Thanks Hilary, I didn't realise that Crosby had free access, I thought for some reason it was only Liverpool. I've been upstairs in Crosby a fair few times doing some research on the church baptism records in the locked cabinet.

I will certainly pop in on those Fridays when I get a chance, work permitting :) .

I believe free access to Ancestry should be available in the majority of libraries in England, Findmypast not in all but worth asking.
