I have come across the following in Gloucester Citizen date 1st Jan 1881
Charles Lewis-Watkins, Union St, received £.1 from the Conservatives and voted for the Conservaties
Also other people have received similar amounts, for the same. Anyone who can enlighten me if this was a regular occurence or info on this.
Did people have to be of a "certain social standing", to vote ?
Any info on the voting system in those days would be great.
Regards
