Hi Mabel, There is no John CRAGGS listed in any of the Electoral Rolls for Bradford from 1900 to 1915 (there were none from then until 1920 due to WWI). Presumably this means that he wasn't eligible to vote.

Thank you very much Colin. I had assumed that everyone resident in UK would automatically have a vote by that time - didn't realise they had to qualify. I must brush up on my electoral Roll Knowledge. A good thing about this "pastime" is that however old you are you never stop learning!
