Could anyone please tell me how much information is found in the electoral rolls Do they show age ,employment etc or is it simply names only Also are the indexed by address or by name -could I ask as well is there any way of checking an address on the 1911 census rather than a name I have tried looking for Malings Rig to no avail -any ideas please Cheers Pat Phillips

Electoral Rolls only show those people that can vote, which is usually the male head of the house hold, at that time. Electoral Rolls were not indexed by name, you need to know the address before you can find someone. This arrangement is a major drawback for the genealogist. Who are you looking for in Maling's Rigg?
