Hi, does anyone know where I can find an AVL for Irlam and Cadishead? The district wasn't part of Manchester or Salford at the time and I'm reliably informed that neither Manchester or Salford have a copy. I read in the Eccles and Patricroft Journal (1919) that elections in Irlam and Cadishead came under the Stretford Division so I phoned Stretford Library but they haven't got a copy.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Cheers
Pete

hiya pete.
neil has hunted high+low for these AVLs,but hes never been able to locate them,some areas listed their absent voters,in their normal voting registers,they had an A at the side of their name,to distinguish them as a AV.

Hi Mack, I know Neil's tried everything. I was just putting it out on the forum just in case, plus the Stretford Division info is new.

Cheers anyway
