Some ER's with Essex Archives:

(Search "electoral registers Colchester")

You may need to register and/or buy a subscription - I haven't investigated that, but the website will tell you.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

There are some erolls online, London to about 1965 on Ancestry for instance, but you would probably have to look at electoral rolls in local archives. Google the area or if you add it here someone will probably be able to advise.

does anyone know how you can research old address's that are in the memory because you went there as child visiting relatives but were in the 50s and 60s.
