The BURGESS ROLL of wellington was a list of (only 152) residents in the Borough of Wellington in 1843 who were eligible to vote - they each paid 1 pound 1 shilling to have their names placed on the roll.

The list gives their names, their address at the time and their occupation - click the link above to find if you had any ancestors on the list - the ones that are highlighted have much more information on their spouses, children and life

If you could help to add more information that would be great
