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.

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.

Hi,
This might be of interest to someone.

In Grantham library in Referance section on micro film are Grantham Poll Books for the years.

1818-1820-1826-1841-1852-1857-1868
 Plus List of Freeholders
1725-1818-1826-1857.

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.

Kathy, Darren hasn't been on rootschat for 7 years.

His profile says that his emails aren't working either.
