Warwickshire Electoral Rolls

[Merry]

Research for a friend, so nothing to add to BK6 from this thread

I'm not sure if Tanworth-in-Arden is close to any big town/city!

I know A H Shaw lived at "Faraway" Wood End, Tanworth-in-Arden, Warwickshire from 1937 or before, through to at least 1946 or possibly later. Research tells me his first name is most likely Albert, but I am having trouble matching him up with his wife who ought to be Gwen. I was thinking the electoral rolls might tell me her first name :)

Thanks for reading.

Perilously close to Birmingham...stockbroker belt - Nick Drake and Mike Hawthorn are buried in the churchyard

I don't know who they are?? :o:o:o

[Uncle John]

Presumably Mike Hawthorn is the well(?) known motor-cycle chappie.

[Merry]

Not well known to me, though now you say that, maybe I have heard of him???

[Anstey Nomad]

Indeed Uncle John and Nick Drake is the singer from the late 60s, early 70s. His grave is covered in plectrums (or should I say plectra?)

Oh I'm too young to remember!!!!! :D

Do you think he might do my lookup? :rolleyes:

I'm just wondering where the electors rolls might be kept - probably at Warwick

[Margaret in Burton]

Birmingham?

Depending when you want I suppose

[JBee]

I will ring them tomorrow but think more likely to be at Warwick Records Office.

[Merry]

Ooops, stop, stop!!

I solved this but forgot to say so on here :o

It was Solihull library who did the lookup :D (I emailed them)

Thanks for offereing to help though :D:D:D:D

That's good - hope you got the answer you wanted.

[Merry]

Yes, thanks - The right people were in the house at the right time and I was able to confirm I had the right wife which had been in dispute! lol
