Surrey Electoral Registers, 1918-1945 updated
I have updated the Surrey Electoral Registers on our website Link. The page now covers the whole period 1918-1939 & 1945. Previously it only covered the years 1930-1939.
This took a long time as the Ancestry.co.uk index was not manually transcribed, but created using text recognition software. Most of the addresses were either missing, incomplete, or incorrect, so I added corrections to the site. I also corrected any errors in personal names that I found. Occasionally people were not picked up by the software at all.
Working through the years 1918-1929 (inc) & 1945 I found over 1,200 additional entries - twice as many as the original number.
Note: Not all of the Surrey registers were scanned as part of this project, especially parts of Surrey which became London boroughs, such as Kingston-upon-Thames.
Registers for the years 1832-1915 are expected to be added to Ancestry.co.uk in the near future.
