I am also including some the names from the 'Witness' section from freereg pages I have viewed. I have also added a few 'other' names, but mainly for Proctor/Mason research. Crowle is a hot spot!, Ealand of note!. The [] are from Rex's book url. You can search the rest of the book.

Bart's link to the HISTORY,GAZETTEER AND DIRECTORY of LINCOLNSHIRE, published 1872 is a great resource to let people 'flesh out' family members found in other returns etc., and to give insights into where family members were actually living and working years ago. Put what you have now with 1841 , '51 and '61 Census returns----------- My earlier link to the Google book takes you to a list of people who voted in the 1852 election. It is not a comprehensive list of all village males - only of those qualified to vote - as it says on a page covering the London metropolitan Archives - "Poll books will not list all residents of an area. Until 1832, most voters were freeholders and others who could meet property requirements for the franchise, and poll books list only those who actually cast a vote".Many of my own Messingham forebears are missing from the list! Years ago I copied a list of Messingham men listed in the 1725 Lincolnshire Poll Book. If anyone is interested these names were: Ffrancis Turpin; Jno. Johnson; Tho. Moody; Jno. Lindley; Jno. Popplewell; Geo. Major; Jno. Lyon; Wm. Lightly; Wm. Stevenson; Thos. Parker; Barthol. Drakes; Jno. Watson; Wm. Lambert; Isaac Bristow (Butterwick); Edmund Roadley); Jno. Stoakes; Mich (?) Wakes (?) (Ffrodingham); Robt. Gravenor; Thos. Major (Ashby). Regards. Rex
