Yorkshire West Riding Freeholders
(1817)
A ballot was held at Wakefield 12 to 16 May 1817 for the choice of a new Register (registrar) for the West Riding Registry of Deeds, following the death of J. A. Busfeild esq. The candidates were Francis Hawksworth, esq. (1) and William Lister Fenton Scott esq. (2). 2544 freeholders voted, qualification being male adults in possession of at least £100 per annum. This alphabetical poll book was compiled from the scrutators' and poll clerks' books: it gives full name (surname first) and residence, as well as the situation of the qualifying freehold. Each man's name is preceded by a 1 or 2, indicating for whom his vote was cast.ROGERS. Cost: £6.00.  | Sample scan, click to enlarge

Daughters of Wesleyan Methodist preachers
(1817-1818)
Children of Wesleyan Methodist preachers could be educated by the church at their schools at Kingswood and Woodhouse Grove. For each girl not educated at these schools 8 guineas was allowed by the church to her father; these sums are listed in the annual accounts, with the girl's full name, arranged by school year, giving us an idea of her age.ROGERS.

Wesleyan Methodist preachers' wives
(1817-1818)
Wives of Wesleyan Methodist ministers were supported by the church, either centrally or through the local congregations: lists of wives were therefore printed in the annual minutes. Unfortunately, the ladies' Christian names are never given; where it is necessary to distinguish between wives of ministers with the same surnames, the husbands' Christian names are given. The S. preceding each name signifies 'Sister'. Examining these lists is nevertheless a good way to trace approximate dates of marriage for a minister, and approximate dates of death of wives that predeceased them.ROGERS.
