FindmyPast expands English and Welsh electoral registers collections

The latest records added to FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk) are an update to the site's English and Welsh electoral registers:

England & Wales, Electoral Registers 1832-1932
Covering a century of British history, this mammoth collection is the single largest set of family records on Findmypast and it's just gotten even bigger. We've added a further 116 million names in partnership with the British Library.

Published as searchable PDF documents, using keywords and wildcard searches can help you pinpoint the record you're looking for.

Newspapers
This week, we've added two brand new publications along with extra year coverage for another. New to the site are:

North Wilts Herald covering the years 1867-1895 and 1897-1941
Home News for India, China and the Colonies covering the years 1847-1865

As well as the two new releases, we've also supplemented Truth with issues from 1894, 1896 and 1897.
