The Militia Ballot List Index

The Society project was to transcribe and edit to a standard the ballot lists held in Hertfordshire from 1758 to 1786 and, exceptionally, until 1801.
The transcription is presented in booklet form as an alphabetical index. See the example.
The transcription is presented in booklet form as an alphabetical index. The surnames are grouped together using the most common spelling of the name used in the ballot area (which normally equates to an administrative ward or parish) and the variants found are listed with the surname.
Forenames, occupations and other information are modernised as to spelling to overcome the variabilities found in order to provide a usable index.

The militia ballot list project is now complete. Every existing list in the county has been published in 113 volumes, totalling over 280,000 records.
