Electoral registers, or voters' rolls, are another useful resource for confirming details about an ancestor if you know where they lived.
We have almost all electoral registers from 1946. There are restrictions on how you access this information and what you do with it. Access is controlled by electoral law and data protection rules apply. This means you can only make handwritten notes, not copies, and you can only look at the registers under supervision. There are some exceptions.
