The 1921 census is still due to be released in January 2022.

On the London Lives website I found a record dated 1818 relating to an ancestor - Westminster Ratebooks: Property values of Westminster Electors. The record gives the 'rack rental value' (£15) of his address in Stafford Place. My question - does the fact that he appears as a Westminster Elector imply anything about his social status? Or were all male residents of Westminster described as Electors? Does the record imply that he owned the property, or may he simply have been renting it? _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.
