• The Dublin City Franchise Roll, 1468-1512 - (Book - Amazon.co.uk) : This important medieval document provides a unique insight into the social and economic history of late 15th-century Dublin. The roll gives the names and occupations of 1425 people, both men and women, who were granted the right to vote in municipal elections during a period of political upheaval and change. Many of these newly-enfranchised citizens derived their right to freedom by birth or on marriage, and the roll gives the names of fathers, husbands and wives, allowing the researcher to build up a pattern of family and social connections, and providing the genealogist with valuable information from five centuries ago. The Dublin franchise roll also contains a unique series of wills and deeds which give topographical and social data not available elsewhere. This edition is accompanied by extensive indexes which are designed to make the information more accessible.
