Registers of Voters, 1832 - 1900
Several Registers of Voters from 1832 - 1900 have been found.
These pages allow you to
- either view transcripts of complete Registers of Voters by clicking on the list of included registers below
- or search for any name or phrase across all the registers.
A note on the original sources:
- The rolls for 1873 and 1874 were found in microfilm copies of The Fifeshire Journal in Cupar library, and the 1879-80 roll in the British Library Newspapers edition of 18 December 1879.
- All others, except the rolls for 1900, are in volumes which were located (several years ago) in Cupar Library.
- The volume for 1832 is labelled "1832". Subsequent volumes are labelled "vol. 1", "vol. 2" and "vol. 3". These three manuscript volumes appear to have some overlap in their covering dates, I have tentatively listed them here as "1833-40", "1844-61" and "1846-62" respectively.
- Rolls from 1862 onwards are printed volumes.
- The 1900 Burgh lists are dated 10th September 1900.
- The 1900 Burgh lists are Crown Copyright. Originals are at the National Records of Scotland, SC20/80/3.
- Not all columns are to be found in each roll - hence the gaps in this listing.
- The No. column is the number of the entry on the original roll. On the County lists, they refer to the whole county listing. I have included them only on the complete listings below.
- In these listings, editorial additions are given in [square brackets].
