Pollbooks are an invaluable source of information for local and family historians, and my be used in a variety of ways, e.g. for the study of social and political history, for tracing the distribution of family names, for genealogical purposes, etc. The Yorkshire Pollbook 1807, for example, identifies over 23,000 Yorkshire freeholders who voted in that year, giving their names, residences, freeholds, occupations and votes. Very few copies of pollbooks have survived. Now, however, they are being reproduced in facsimile in Raymond's Original Pollbooks series. Fourteen pollbooks are currently available; these are listed below. Prices include UK p&p. Please inquire for overseas prices.
