This was posted to another list and I thought it might be of interest. ---------------Original Message--------------- Taken from PRONI : Your Family Tree 10 Voters, Poll and Freeholders Records are lists of people entitled to vote, or of people actually voting at elections. They are arranged on a county basis. Poll Books are the books in which are recorded the votes cast at parliamentary elections. They contain the name and address of the voter and often the address of the `Freehold` which entitled the voter to his vote. Voters lists and Freehold Registers give similar information to the Poll Books but do not record how people voted at a particular election. >From 1727 to 1793 only Protestants with a freehold worth at least 40 shillings per year had a vote. Between 1793 & 1829 both Protestants and Catholics with 40 shillings freeholds had votes. In 1829 all 40 shillings Freeholders lost the vote.
