channelhopper Posted 11 April , 2014 Share Posted 11 April , 2014 I am trying to research 248 Pte Fred Wells of the West Yorkshire Regiment. I have attempted to search and download the Leeds Absent Voters listing but I am being asked for a username and password. Does anyone have the list please and could they do a check for me. Many Thanks Channelhopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithmroberts Posted 11 April , 2014 Share Posted 11 April , 2014 Free search here: http://www.leeds.gov.uk/leisure/Pages/Absent-war-voters.aspx But you might need to try variants such as frederick, F Freddie etc keith EDIT Apparently there is a technical problem with the site at present judging by the text on the page.

That sheet reveals: METZ PLACE 5693/5696 Quote If you wish to obtain details of the address for a specific entry, contact the Local and Family History Library, Central Library, Calverley Street, Leeds, LS1 3AB who can check the original Electoral Roll for you.
