On the 1936 and the 1938 there should be a john clasby showing,he was born in 1913,he seems to dissapear,he was another son of beatrice.he's abit of a mystery as done of the children of these people  on the roll have never heard of him.i know this is quite recent so i suppose i wont be able to findout much.

Hi Carol

Electoral rolls can be as hit or miss as the census.

If he wasn't living there on a permanent basis, he would not have been registered to vote from that address. You mention 1936 and 1938, where was he supposed to have been in 1935 and 1937?

Hi Dawn,i put 1935 missing as thought he might not quite be old enough and 1937 you said was missing.thanks for your help.

Hello Carol,

My grandfather was Albert John Clasby he lived at 22 Mundella Rd, Battersea until it was destroyed by German bombing. I visited my uncle John Edwin Clasby (Albert's son) yesterday, he is 95.

We were talking about the past and I found your enquiry via the internet as I was searching 22 Mundella Rd. There were other Clasbys' in the road

I have various bits of Clasby info and a few photo's. I'd be happy to share these with you at sometime.

regards, David
