Dewsbury Library - Electoral Rolls
« on: Friday 03 April 15 13:59 BST (UK) »
John William Screeton or Scruton
I wondered if anyone may be going to the Dewsbury Library & could do a look up on the Electoral Rolls please?

The person in question died 29 March 1938 & on his death certificate his last know address 121 Old Westgate, Dewsbury (a Boarding House on the 1911 Census) & he was a Pedlar.

I am not sure what date the Electoral Rolls were taken so would appreciate if someone could look on the 1937/1938 & see if he was at the above address.

His death was recorded as Scruton but hoping it was Screeton. No Pedlars Licences have survived from then & would appreciate if anyone had any other suggestions on how to find out his correct surname.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Gill

P.S.
I am now wondering if Dewsbury did have any Pedlars Licences as I originally thought he was from the Goole area.
