Title: Deerdale Lane, Bilsthorpe Notts
Post by: crazylibrarian on Friday 26 October 12 00:16 BST (UK)

Albert and Cecelia Henson 1911 Census 33 Broomhill Road Mansfield.  Post WW1 and on discharge from the war Albert & cecelia lived at 61 Brownlow Road Mansfield. At some point they moved to Deerdale Lane Bilsthorpe on a smallholding type property belonging the Forestry Commission - Albert working as a Ranger.  I would like to know (aside from Nottingham Archives) which Library I would likely find old electoral records up to 1947? When Albert died in 1947 Cecelia had to vacate the property and until her death lived at Pembroke Street Mansfield before it was pulled down for regeneration.

Can anyone help as I am on the last leg of my family history story.

Thank you in anticipation

Angela

Hi Angela, I'm fairly certain the library will only have the modern electoral roll, not historic ones. My local one certainly only has the modern roll and the historic parish records.

Hi Angela

The local studies library, based on the 1st floor of the Central Library in Nottingham city centre, has past copies of electoral rolls going back to the 1800's for the whole county, inc. Mansfield.

Good luck.
