I believe that some Lincolnshire Poll Books are available on line, possibly with Ancestry or FindMyPast subscriptions but I'm struggling to find them.
I have both subscriptions but having been assured of their presence cant find on either site. I have to admit I'm not brilliant with their search facilities. Please can a kind soul point me in the right direction.

What do you find in Poll Books please

As far as I understand it shows people who had the vote and their addresses and in the early years it actually shows how they voted I am told.
-
Some Lincolnshire Poll Books are on the SoG website: dates are 1790, 1807, 1823, 1841, 1852

Hi,
This might be of interest to someone.
In Grantham library in Referance section on micro film are Grantham Poll Books for the years.

Plus List of Freeholders

I have not looked on them yet so do not know what information they give.
Also Book of Parish Registers of Grantham 1562-1632 with Birth,Marriage and Deaths in it.
