Can anyone help with the following.
I am looking for the last known address of Paul maurice edmour Bessette who died 1971 N Surrey.
Does anyone have access to the electoral roll. Any help would be grateful and I'd be forever in your debt.

and I'm looking for Richard, Alice, William,Thomas Gray .. in Bromley 1940s or 1950s.
All were born before 1908, so presumably are dead by now.
Richard Gray senior died 1940 in Chelsfield, Orpington
---I'd be happy to do a bit of looking at Irish Electoral Rolls in return.

Electoral rolls aren't online. You'd need to find someone to look at the local archives or library. I have had responses from helpful libraries when I've emailed - but that was when I had an address and it was a tiny village.
If you don't have an exact address it really is impossible to do a search.

Hi Jeuel.
Thank you so much for replying.
-
thank you, Jeuel.
Do you think Bromley Library would be the place to look - how would I find the correct address?
- I don't live in the UK, but I visit London once or twice a year, so a trip to Kent would b simple enough.

This is the page for Bromley libraries http://www.bromley.gov.uk/libraries/
contact details for the Central Library, including email are on the right hand side.

The surname is the same but I will have to check the first names with the death certificate
I hope this helps

Findmypast.co.uk are apparently going to have historic electoral rolls on their site from 2012 according to a newsletter they recently sent out.
In the meantime apart from libraries \ archives for the area concerned the British Library has teh most complete set of historic electoral rolls.
I don't know how helpful libraries will be doing a lookup for you. When I contacted a library about this last year they would not do a lookup on spec what they would do is confirm a name at an address - fortunately I knew both in that instance

Do you have a copy of his death cert? It may show his last address
