Hi Can I just say my great grandfather married his deceased wifes sister in 1898. The marriage date and place were on ancestry. Perhaps he was a trendsetter!! |

Thanks Mandy, have added info I was looking for yesterday. This is on the homepage. Electoral registers began in 1832 and by 1884 all male householders over the age of 21 were entitled to vote. By 1918 all men over 21 and women over the age of 30 could vote, changing to the age of 21 for women in 1928. In 1969 the age was lowered from 21 to 18. They are usually kept by local libraries and county record offices and are an excellent way of trying to trace down towards the present. Cas |

Good list, Mandy. You might like to add: 1953 - date and place of birth and the maiden surname of married women is given on death certificates (Registration of Births and Deaths Act 1953). Richard |
