Thank you very much for your help and replies. Will i need to go in person to the local library or can i obtain the records on line.

As you have been given the info you asked for, I don't think you need to do anything further

The info Choccy provide was, I believe, taken from the Ancestry website

ONLY those eligible to vote will be on the ER, anyway.

When 1921 census becomes available, you'll be able to see who else was residing there on the qualifying date

i know my grand mother was a domestic there in 1921 and i'm trying to find out how long she may have been there. Olive Nellie Louise Gigg

She would not have been eligible to vote

The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 led to a suspension of all politics, including the militant suffragette campaigns. Lobbying did take place quietly. In 1918, a coalition government passed the Representation of the People Act 1918, enfranchising women over the age of 30 who met minimum property qualifications. Ten years later, in 1928, the Conservative government passed the Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act giving the vote to all women over the age of 21.

Born late 1893 in Cornwall, married there in 1925

Can't, at the moment, find her on any census

Looks like she was in Ireland in 1911

Thank you for the information, i have all her birth details etc, they lived in Ireland from about c1895 and returned in 1916 during the easter risings. She had an illegitimate child in 1921 which was put up for adoption and listed Acasia Road as her address on the birth certificate. Father unknown, I was trying to work out how she ended up in London as she and her family all lived in and around Exeter Devon. I can only assume Percy must have had a country residence in that area.
Thank you once again for all your kind help.

This is her admission to the workhouse to have the child..............

Olive N Gigg

Admitted - In Labour. A servant.

Her birth year is a little out but there is no other birth for an Olive Gigg between 1885 and 1900 anywhere in the UK.

Dea x

The child..........birth registered in the 1st quarter of 1921.

Births Mar 1921 (>99%)
Gigg Eileen Gigg Marylebone 1a 849

I would think a more likely explanation for her being in London was that she obtained the employment through an agency.

is it possible with out a name, to find out who was living at 23 Acacia Road Marylebone from 1922 onwards or find out who owned the property

Any occupants eligible to vote will be on the ER.....in the main library, as advised in February

To find out who the owner was, you'd probably need to have sight of the Deeds

Nothing anywhere will tell you about your relative's time at the address
