8. Poll Books
Ancestry.co.uk has released a large set of UK poll books and electoral registers
dating from 1538 to 1893. Containing more than 4.6million records, you might
just find a missing Irish ancestor lurking in there – if he or she had some means.
You won't find paupers in this collection because the right to vote was restricted
to property owners until 1832. The Poll books were drawn up by local sheriffs
and include lists of voters and the candidate each voted for in county elections
(secret balloting wasn't introduced until 1872).
In addition to the poll books which make up the majority of the collection, there
are also registers, indexes, lists of liverymen, and similar records in this set.
Besides names and details of the election itself ie when it took place, who was
running and for what, poll books may list address, occupation, qualifications for
voting, and a place where the property that qualified a voter is located.

Is anyone willing to undertake a review of
the Workhouse information covered in these
websites and summarise findings to the
Group at a future meeting?
12. The Workhouse
Hi Rodney,
I’m happy to review Workhouses – looks interesting. I am
not aware of any of my family finishing up there, although
my mother was known to remark that my brother and I
would cause her to do just that.
Regards,
Tony Sadler

16. Daphne’s dilemma
• I have been looking at Elizabeth Vincent
• Details are as follows
• Born in Netherhampton in 1836
• Found in 1841 and 1851 census (all OK so far)
• I checked on another tree because I couldn't find her in
1861.
• There was another tree in ancestory which she was on, this
tree stated that she married Henry Hibberd in 1860.
• On this tree she subsequently had three children Henry
1861 Sarah 1863 and Ernest 1865.
•
• I checked and could find no evidence or any Marriage for her
•
17. Daphne’s dilemma
• I later found her in 1861 living with her brother George.
• This makes me think there must have been two Elizabeth
Vincents.
• My question is, if there is no record of any marriage on
record could there be records somwhere else?
• Can I check to find if there were two Elizabeths.
• This makes me also realise that it is no good just taking
someone else's tree to be correct everything needs to be
double checked.
• Incidentally, I found Ernest Vincent living with his uncle in
1891.
18. Keith’s dilemma
• I have a cousin living in Australia who has recently been
contacted by somebody over their who believes that they
are related. Knowing of my interest in the subject my cousin
mentioned it to me last week. All we know is that the family
in Australia are Norton-Bakers and that the relationship is
most likely on the Akers/Sadler side of my family (so might
also be of interest to Tony!).
• My Dad's youngs brother's middle name was Brisbane and
the family lore was that he got that in honour of friends
living there, but I now wonder if it was actually family.
• I have never explored the possibility of overseas relatives
and I'm not sure where to start
