  • Chertsey Division
    County of Surrey CHERTSEY DIVISION Register of Electors, 1918 An Alphabetical Index of Naval/Military and/or Absent Voters Surrey History Centre Reference: CC802/27/1 This document contains the names of individuals who were included in the 1918 Electoral Register for the Chertsey Parliamentary Division of Surrey, and who were recorded as being either Naval, Military and/or absent voters. Notes: Not all Naval/Military voters may have been correctly designated “NM” and not all absent voters may have been Naval/Military personnel, in which case their entries are highlighted in orange text. Red text denotes a possible error, or information derived from a different source, such as the 1919 Chertsey Electoral Register. This is particularly the case for the Parish of Bisley (Dii), because parts of the pages for this Parish are missing in the Electoral Register held at the Surrey History Centre. Entry Nos. 547-573, 578-628, 634-660, 794-812 & 825 are affected. Some individuals were killed in action, or otherwise died, in the period between when the Register was compiled and the cessation of hostilities in November 1918. Some voters may appear more than once. This Index is therefore intended only as a guide to further research and no guarantee of accuracy is given.

Henry I Beauclerc, King of England NOTES: (Reign: 1066-1087) William of the House of Normandy; The first Norman King; On 28 Sep 1066 William secured the sanction of Pope Alexander II for a Norman invasion of England. By 1070 the Norman conquest of England was complete. In 1085 the Domesday Survey was begun and all England was recorded so William knew exactly what his new kingdom contained. William introduced the Continental system of feudalism; by the Oath of Salisbury of 1086 all landlords swore allegiance to William, thus establishing the precedent that a vassal's loyalty to the king overrode his fealty to his immediate lord. During a campaign against King Philip I of France, William fell from a horse and was fatally injured. William was the illegitimate son of Robert I, duke of Normandy and Arletta, a tanner's daughter. He is sometimes called "William the Bastard".
