Cosgrove Electoral Roll 1927

The Electoral system in England was administered by Parish units, developed through the years and transferring power from the Church to elected secular officers and Members of Parliament. Old Stratford was included in the parish of Cosgrove from Watling Street, eastwards, to Cosgrove village. People living on the west side of Watling Street were included in the parish of Passenham.

Records below show the whole of the parish of Cosgrove and include those Old Stratford people who lived on the east side of Watling Street. Also recorded are people entitled to vote because they owned property or land in the parish of Cosgrove, but they themselves lived elsewhere. It is possible that people failed to register for the electoral roll during some years, and qualified under more than one category in others - thus appearing twice. It is not clear whether they voted more than once!

During these years - In 1919 women appeared on the electoral rolls in their own right under the categories listed below.
It was no longer possible to spot where people had moved properties within the year, but house numbers were beginning to appear. These do not correspond with modern numbers, as there were major renumbering exercises to come in the villages as more properties were built.
This was the period duting which the phrase "Council Cottages" first appears. These were not council houses as we now know them but let to tenants by the Parish itself.
