I note that Stephens Messingham District is there under Brigg Polling District and Francis and a William Mason are the only ones in town on polling day in this one. this is really handy. I have book marked it. thanks for sending Edie ------------------------------------------ From: Rex via <eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com> To: eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com; Subject: [LIN] General election 1852 Poll Book North Lincolnshire Browsing in Google Books recently I came across the following web page: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Lw4HAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Lincolnshire&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjU9qOVyd3JAhUCthoKHd8fAGU4ChDoAQhCMAc#v=onepage&q=Lincolnshire&f=false This is long, so best copied in full, and pasted into your browser. Scroll down for lists of names in the North Lincolnshire villages to see where your families were living. Some villages were little more than hamlets, so check adjacent villages for missing families. Make sure you look at the end of each section to see the names of "Persons appearing on the Register, but not voting in this district". These "persons" were obviously absent from their home villages at the time of the voting - and in my case the absences explained 'gaps' found when I had made searches in registers. Etc.. Just sending on in case anyone interested.
