    1. [LONDON] Electoral registers
    2. Pho Mostyn via
    3. I have Herbert Thomas Brown on the 1918 and 1919 registers at 5 Eugenia Road Deptford, where family remember him living later. Also listed is his wife Dora Louise Brown, as eligible to vote in parliamentary as well as local elections, but she was only age 25, when the minimum age for women in parliamentary elections was 30. Does anyone know how rigorous the checks were on these registers? Herbert Thomas Brown is also registered at 37 Naylor Road with Alice Brown, the mother of one of his children who he never married. Again she was under 30. Could he have registered twice in two different houses? Both entries are repeated in 1919. He is registered alone in 1920-1923, but his real wife Dora appears again in 1924 when she attains the age of 30. Alice married someone else in 1921. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance for your thoughts
