Electoral Register

[caroline24_5]

Hi,
I know this isn't exactly about genealogy but i need help.
I have searched the electoral register on 1837online for a living relative and a few matches have come up, does anyone know if i can find out how old the people are in the addresses i have found?

The only time you can tell how old someone is from the electoral register is if you find the very first time that they are entered on the register (currently age 18, but age 21 before abt 1972). On the first entry it lists the date of birth of the person concerned. I do not know when this system started. It might only be recent. You would have to search to find out the exact date.
