New to searching Family tree and have managed to print off electoral roll results for 1939, 1945, 1950, 1955 feeling very excited as I found relatives on them in Reservoir Road - but I have just noticed that 1939, 1945 show Polling Dist. 221 - Erdington Ward, then 1950, 1955 show Dist.220...

Mikejee - really - We left Birmingham in 1958 which was when my father finished with them. I remember them having the most wonderful childrens xmas parties which seemed at a young age to be in a gigantic hall with 100's and 100's of children - the things we remember - Val

Thanks for that Shera - just looked at the paperwork for my family tree (just started but not getting on very well) that Matilda Osborne possibly died in 1955 aged 90, perhaps the Broadfields moved in then, strange but I can't remember them. How does one get to look at electoral rolls. Val
