The Lancashire Fusiliers;: The roll of honour of the Salford Brigade (15th, 16th, 19th, 20th and 21st Lancashire
Fusiliers) by Montague Barlow With grateful thanks to the Fusilier Museum, Bury, we are extremely pleased, and proud, to make this digital copy available for download 100 years to the day of the 1st July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, in which many of the men pictured in the publication fought. The publication tells the history of the Salford Pals Battalions and features images of nearly all the original pals. The images of the pages have been subjected to optical character recognition (OCR) to make them searchable. However, the imperfections of OCR mean that this process is not wholly reliable, and the failure of a search should not automatically be taken to mean that the search term is not present in the list. To somewhat help negate the imperfections of the OCR we have included an index to the names of the men who are pictured in the book. |

1918 Absent Voters List for Salford
The United Kingdom general election of 1918 was the first to be held after the Representation of the People Act 1918, which meant it was the first United Kingdom general election in which nearly all men aged 21 and women aged 30 and over could vote. Polling was held on 14 December 1918, although the count did not begin until 28 December.
The wide extension of the franchise combined with the large number of voters whose military service or other contribution to the war effort meant that they were expected to be absent from their normal residential address at the time of the election required special measures for voter registration. Absent voter lists were therefore compiled listing all voters affected in this way.
The lists are arranged by electoral division and then by ward and finally alphabetically by street and house number. Each voter is allocated a number and his name and identifying details are given. These latter (in the case of servicemen) consist of the person’s name, rank, regiment (or ship/naval establishment) and service number. A very small number of women’s names appear in the lists.
Using the Lists
The absent voter list is reproduced here as scanned images of the original document. This is accompanied by a name index arranged in surname/forename order giving the voter number for each person. Using the voter number, the individual can be readily found in the list. Bookmarks have been provided at intervals of each 500 voters to assist in location. The images of the lists have also been subjected to optical character recognition (OCR) to make them searchable. This might permit a regiment or ship name to be located in the list. However, the
imperfections of OCR mean that this process is not wholly reliable, and the failure of a search should not automatically be taken to mean that the search term is not present in the list.
These Absent Voters Lists have been made available through the kind cooperation of:
The Manchester Regiment Forum

The Salford War Memorials Project
Manchester and Lancashire Family History Society

Please be aware that each division is approximately 15mb in size.

Shortly after the cessation of hostilities in 1919, the National Publishing Company sought to publish a brief biography of as many of those participating in the war as was possible. Entries were compiled by subscription (please be aware that many did not subscribe). Information for the entries was generally submitted by family members or the soldiers themselves. Information provided was not verified and therefore, may or may not be accurate.
The Manchester & Salford Roll of Honour can be searched by visiting the Spinning the Web website (click on the image to visit the site).
To find an individual name, for example, ACTON, enter the following terms in the "Global Search" at the top of the Spinning the Web screen: "National Roll Great War Acton" and the site should display the entry for the person (or persons) of that name.

Eccles Journal Roll of Honour with index
The Eccles Journal printed two Rolls of Honour as supplements at the end of 1916 and 1917 (the 1916 supplement includes men featured in their 1915 articles.) No supplement was found for 1914 or 1918. The Rolls of Honour include men from Eccles, Worsley, Swinton, Pendlebury and other areas.
