These entries only include heads-of-household who are registered voters. The absence of other details such as age make this information of limited use - except as an index to the census. Voters were divided into Freemen and Occupiers. James is the only Strangeway found who is a Freeman of the City. It is possible that this status would have created some entries in the city records.
