Hawkesbury History

Extract from the Gloucestershire Electoral Roll for 1832

Alan W. Nash. 1994.

For the purposes of the Electoral Roll, the County was divided into two approximately equal divisions, Eastern and Western. This equality of this partition relates to the number of eligible voters. The dividing line is somewhat arbitrary and from the geographical standpoint, a better description might be Southwest and Northeast. The Roll itself exists as two printed books, one for each Division.

The Divisions are then further sub-divided into Hundreds and, within each Hundred, into parishes. Every person within a parish with an entitlement to vote is listed in alphabetical order of surname. (In fact, the order is not altogether precise.) The franchise was far from universal. An entitlement to the vote was mainly, but not exclusively, based on an interest in buildings and land. The entries in the Roll were allocated a sequential number in order of their appearance and this number has been used in a modified form in the index.

It must be stressed that the original Register of Electors, as printed, contains many errors. Some of these were corrected in an added Errata sheet and these corrections have been made for the Index. However, there are clearly a number of residual errors and these have been left unedited except where the uncorrected errors would have a detrimental effect on the accuracy of the index.

THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE ELECTORAL ROLL INDEX (GERI).

GERI contains all the names that appear in the Electoral Roll irrespective of any entitlement to the vote. These are arranged in alphabetical order of surname as single line entries in upper case characters

for fast, easy reading.

Below are the column headings and a typical entry.

SURNAME FORENAME/S PARISH/TOWN DIV/ITEM STAT.

BALLINGER JAMES ARLINGHAM W0071 T

The first two columns are self explanatory.

The historical term "Hundred" has been abandoned since it now has little relevance. The PARISH/TOWN refers to the location of the qualifying property but it should be noted that in some cases this is not the place of residence of the qualifying individual.

The content of column 4 headed "DIV/ITEM" needs explanation. The prefix letter indicates in which Division-and thus in which book- the original entry exists.

"W" prefixes an entry in the Western Division

"E" prefixes an entry in the Eastern Division.

The four digit number which follows is the number which was allocated in the Roll itself. In this case,this would refer to entry number 71 in the Western Division.

Column 5 headed "STAT." (Status) is included as a means of clarifying the electoral entitlement of the individual to which the whole entry refers.

"F" = Qualification as a Freeholder. (Sole or joint).

"L" = Qualification as a Leaseholder or Life holder.

"T" = Qualification based upon a qualifying Tenancy.

"C" = Qualification as a Copyholder or by Customary tenure.

"M" = Qualification as a Mortgagee.

"G" = Qualification by tenure of Glebe or church lands.

"N" = Qualification based upon Non-conformist holdings (usually as an incumbent or trustee

of incomes).

"R" = Qualification as Recipient of property based incomes (including tithes, tolls, rent

receipts, annuities, shares, etc).

"P" = Qualification by Position. (usually as incumbent, parish clerk or schoolmaster).

No entry in the column indicates that the person named as resident is not enfranchised though they may be so by virtue of an interest in a different property. In many cases, the qualifying conditions are a combination of several circumstances and their descriptions can vary from place to place. Hence the listings in the STATUS column should be treated as being approximate rather than exact.
