Register of electors, 1835-7

These are the Buckinghamshire electors listed for Winslow, and those with property in adjacent parishes who lived in Winslow. There may have been other Winslow residents with property further away which qualified them to vote. The qualification to vote in county constituencies was being a male householder with freehold property (of which there was still very little in Winslow) worth 40s, copyhold property worth £10, or various sorts of long lease. The people listed below as "occupiers" mainly had leases from the Lowndes estate. Scroll down to see who they voted for. See also Register of electors, 1838.

There were 3 elections in Bucks in this period:

• In January 1835 there was a general election. 3 Conservatives were returned (Marquess of Chandos, Sir William Young, James Praed). Two Liberals were unsuccessful (George Dashwood, Dr John Lee).
• In February 1837 there was a by-election on the death of Praed. George Harcourt (Conservative) defeated George Dashwood (Liberal).
• Later in 1837 there was a general election. 3 Conservatives were returned (Marquess of Chandos, George Harcourt, Sir William Young). One Liberal was unsuccessful (George Smith).

As this was before the secret ballot, the register records how everyone voted. The columns have been coloured blue (Conservative) and yellow (Liberal) (not the colours used at the time)..

The few Liberal voters in Winslow seem mainly to have been Congregationalists, but it's interesting to find that they also included the Willises, father and son, who were the town's leading solicitors.
