Title: Portsmouth Records Office - 1922,1923 and 1924 Electoral Registers
Post by: barry56 on Tuesday 28 May 13 06:55 BST (UK)
On 17 May, 'antiquesam' kindly offered to do lookups at his local records office(s) and archives. Consequently, when you able to do so, I would grateful if you would search the 1922, 1923 & 1924 Electoral Registers (Rolls) at Portsmouth Records Searchroom (2nd floor, Portsmouth Central Library, in the History Centre) for the names of the occupants of 327 (Cambrian House?) Commercial Road, Landport, Portsmouth, Hants.

Thank you.
