Listers, - If this is the appropriate list. If not which is ? Does anyone know where I could locate and search the Electoral registers for 'Christchurch and New Forest West constituency'. The area I'm interested in is just outside the then Bournemouth town boundary. I've checked in Bournemouth Library and they only have 'Bournemouth', not even Poole ! Bournemouth in the 1920's included Winton and Turberry Park, but excluded East Howe and Kinson. TIA Tim in Nutbourne, W. Sussex

Sussex Hi Tim This is certainly one of the right lists:-) I would've thought that the Hampshire County RO at Winchester was your best bet as Christchurch and Bournemouth didn't become a part of Dorset until 1974: contact details are: Tel.
