Family History Beginners Board / Old electoral rolls
« on: Monday 24 August 09 16:37 BST (UK)  »
Hiya

Does anyone know if you can find electoral rolls for the 50's onwards. I'm trying to trace my dad and have only got information on him from the 50's to the 70's so thought if I start at the beginning I could trace him to now. Have found people scattered all over the country with his exact initials but after contacting the ones with phone numbers have been unable to find him.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks

Jacquie  :)

Wow, thanks so much.
I have seen the Tiverton one before but as i don't know that area I didn't thing it was the one. I'll send off for it and see.
Thanks again

Devon / SANDERS family Bradninch
« on: Thursday 20 August 09 17:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I'm new to this site  :) and wonder if someone could help me. I'm trying to trace my grandfather's birth certificate or baptism. His name was Henry Sanders on all the census' and birth certificates of his children that I have but on his widow's death cert he is named as Abraham. So his birth name could be Abraham or Henry Sanders, son of Richard and Jane. I have found them on the 1861 census as living at 'Crop' Bradninch - looks like anyway, where he was 7. All the census' after that indicate that 1854 should be correct for his year of birth but I just can't find it.
Any help would be very gratefully received.
Thanks

Cornwall / Childrens Homes 1930's Cornwall
« on: Thursday 20 August 09 15:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I'm new to the site and am looking for any information on children's homes in the Cornwall area in the 1930's. My dad and some of his siblings were put into a home/s when the family split. I know one of the daughters went into a workhouse and the eldest son had to work. I have found a National Children's home in Newquay but can't get any info on it. I am trying to find my dad who left our family 46 years ago. The last address I have is from 1964.
Any help on the children's home would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jacquie
