Poll Book for the County of Dorset, in the Different Districts at the General Election of 1857
A copy of this is held at the Dorchester Family History Centre
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=303613
It is also available from Google Books as a 105 page in.PDF file in image format. This I have downloaded, and OCRed it, and saved it as a searchable .pdf – but that is 17 MegaBytes in size, so can’t really be posted, either through e-mail nor snail-mail.
Be aware that OCR is still not perfect, and there are bound to be errors. So if you don’t find what you seek, it may still be there, unrecognised !
This file contains just the Index of the 1,256 Surnames. There is a similar file to this, but much larger, which contains 1,256 lines, one per Voter, with the full name of each.
If you want a look-up, just ask.
