Accrington 1918 Absent Voters List | Clayton-le-Moors | Polling District K

I indexed all the local 1918 Absent Voters list about 10 years ago, there are several hundred mistakes in them, they were not compiled by the soldiers them selves, some of the mistakes include numbers tranposed, wrong regiments, misspelt christian names, even two men who had been killed in 1916, and several men who had been discharged, and were no longer serving, when those lists were compiled. My indexes have been corrected from known military sources.
Retlaw.
