"Poll Book for the County of Dorset, in the Different Districts at the General Election of 1857" A copy of this is held at the Dorchester Family History Centre. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=303613 It gives the names of about 1250 Voters, their village, their Polling Station and Booth, AND how they voted ! The book is also available free from Google Books as a 105 page book in .PDF file in image format. This I have downloaded, and OCRed, and saved as a searchable .pdf – but that is 17 MegaBytes in size, so can’t really be posted, either through e-mail nor snail-mail. Be aware that OCR is still not perfect, and there are bound to be errors. So if you don’t find what you seek, it may still be there, unrecognised ! And if you should find an error, please tell me what it is so that I can correct it [ "It" ???] This file contains just the Index of the 1,256 Surnames. There is a similar file to this, but much larger, which contains 1,256 lines, one per Voter, with the full name of each. Both are available for download in the Library at spanglefish.com/okefordfitzpaine If you want a look-up, just ask.
