Please would anyone be able to help find out who lived at 26 Mount Pleasant Road, Castle Gresley, Swadlincote, DERBYSHIRE around 1949?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately not, I was hoping someone could access an electoral roll to find out.

No census for 1949, only electoral roles. Probably only available at local library.

These are the contact details for the local library:-

Swadlincote Library
Civic Way
Swadlincote
Derbyshire
DE11 0AD

Tel: 01629 533013
Fax: 01283 216352
email: [email protected]

You could contact them and see if anyone there would be willing to look up the electoral register for you. The electoral registers from that time are only searchable by address and not name so they should be able to help you although they MAY make a charge. (some libraries do and some don't). Remember that you will only get the names of anyone at the address over the age of 21 who had registered to vote.
