NOTES

1919 PRESTON ABSENT VOTERS LIST

NOTES:

1

One of the frustrating things about compiling this data was the lack of uniformity used by the people who recorded the original information and/or the compositor(s) who prepared the information for publication. The number of different ways that even the simplest terms, such as Junior, were abbreviated is puzzling and I was tempted to standardize the various abbreviations. However, I decided to use the data as it was originally published so as to eliminate the possibility of my misinterpreting any of the information. Many of the abbreviations will be obvious to anyone with even a passing interest in military history, but if there are any that you cannot decipher I will try my best to help. In almost every case, I have transcribed the volumes as they were published, including any obvious errors. However, if you suspect that I have made an error in my transcription please for clarification. If it turns out that I have made an error I will send you a digital image of the entry at no charge. Otherwise, high resolution digital images of any entry are available at a cost of £1 each. The Absent Voters Lists for Preston were published in three printings. As the third was labeled Spring 1919 I suspect that the earliest edition was published in late 1918. The entries were published in address order within wards and were numbered from 1 to 14042 as follows:

	Wards:	First Publishing	Second Publishing Additions	Third Publishing Additions, Spring 1919
	St John's / A: St John's / B: Avenham / C: Avenham / D: Christ Church / E: Christ Church / F: Ashton / G: Ashton / H: Maudland / I: Maudland / J: St Peter's / K: St Peter's / L: Moorbrook / M: Moorbrook / N: Park / O: Park / P: Park / Q: Trinity / R: Trinity / S: Deepdale / T: Deepdale / U: Ribbleton / V: Ribbleton / W: Fishwick / X: Fishwick / Y: Fulwood / FC: Fulwood / FE: Fulwood / FW:	1 - 513 514 - 1251 1261 - 1534 1536 - 1916 1921 - 2515 2518 - 2809 2810 - 3187 3188 - 3649 3650 - 4158 4161 - 4613A 4615 - 5126 5132 - 5609 5610 - 5925 5927 - 6450A 6451 - 6981 6983 - 7625 7627 - 8051 8052 - 8585 8586 - 9196 9198 - 9758 9760 - 10421 10422 - 10874 10875 - 11320 11322 - 11857 11858 - 12040 12041 - 12217 12220 - 12319 12320 - 12467	12468 - 12470 12471 - 12478 12479 - 12481 12482 - 12484 12485 - 12487 12489 12491 12493 12494 - 12743 12744 - 12839 12841 12842 - 12845 12847 12849 - 12852 12854 - 12861 12862 12864 - 12871 12872 - 12873 12875 - 12961 12962 - 12964 12965 12966 - 12968	12969 - 13004 13005 - 13052 13053 - 13072 13073 - 13127 13128 - 13203 13204 - 13229 13230 - 13246 13247 - 13267 13268 - 13313 13314 - 13344 13345 - 13407 13408 - 13462 13463 - 13496 13497 - 13549 13550 - 13574 13575 - 13653 13654 - 13703 13704 - 13733 13734 - 13813 13814 - 13834 13835 - 13858 13859 - 13905 13906 - 13957 13958 - 13995 13996 - 14015 14016 - 14025 14026 - 14031 14032 - 14042
