Findmypast will be adding London Electoral Rolls between 1832-1928 to their list of databases over the coming year.

Ancestry seem to have beaten them to it, however, as they have recently added a collection of Electoral Rolls for London and Middlesex of over 150 million names.

Don't forget that not everybody was entitled to vote and a lot of the names will be duplicated if they remained at the same address year after year.

Hopefully Ancestry will consider adding the same to their Liverpool records. They are good census substitutes.

Well not just substitutes since they would also cover the in-between years, of which there are a lot more than census years!
