Thanks very much. I went and looked at Kingsley Street and it's full of auto-industry businesses, so I was beginning to think she'd signed at John Isherwood's work address, as he was a carriage-builder. Wonderful where the imagination can go!

Hi Susanna
Thanks for your post. I had a look on the 1893 electoral roll and it lists: Johanna Isherwood, Kingsley Street, Sydenham, Domestic duties - so I am fairly sure this is not your great-grandmother.
Regards, Jamie Mackay

My great-grandmother Susanna Isherwood, seems to have signed on page 186, but I am wondering if this is also her, as her husband was called John!
