Many years' worth of Electoral Registers are held by Berkshire Record Office on microfiche.
This example was used because it is close to a Census year, to enable comparisons to be made.
Spellings have been preserved, and any that look strange have been marked '(sic)', meaning 'thus'. Many place names are in lower-case.
