Voters Lists
The Cornwall Record Office hold various voters lists for the nineteenth century. The qualifying criteria for the right to vote was based on the value of ones holdings, but as the century progressed this was relaxed to include leaseholds etc. The nineteenth century voter lists include the land qualifications of the voters and the location of the land or premises.
