I have copies from around 1912 and wonder what the following mean; Nature of Qualification (then in two columns) Pari. L.G. Then for each person listed it has letters like, HO, R, O, NM, BP. What do they all mean?? |

Parliamentary and Local government elections The initials could be the initials of the candidate the elector voted for. (Not sure off hand when the ballot box came in.) Certainly in the 1800's voting lists showed who people had voted for. Jay |

Still don't understand what all the letters mean? It needs spelling out for me as I ain't that bright! |

Parl - parliamentary election - what we call a general election, when you vote for an MP LG - local government election, when you vote for your local council. Are the candidates named? If the men standing were John Smith (JS) Fred Bloggs (FB) Adam Eden (AE) and Tom Thumb (TT) and I voted for John Smith and Fred Bloggs It would say my name and then JS, FB, showing who got my vote.
