Hello all, and can anyone help please?

Hi all,
I am hoping that someone might be able to help me with some information about Electoral Registers.
I have been searching for my Grandfather whose name was John Lee, my Grandmother called herself Mrs Lee but they were never married.
I find my Grandmother on the Electoral register between 1920 & 1927 with John Lee listed as living at the same address but I am fairly certain he was living at a different address with his wife and children.
Does anyone know how the information on the Electoral registers was collected & if it would have been possible for my grandmother just to state that her husband was living with her (even if he wasn’t) or would he have had to provide those details himself?
Thanks, Pam.

Hello Pam and welcome to the forum.

Hopefully someone will be along later with more knowledge on your question than I have.
