Is there anyway i could find out where my Great Grandmother was living between 1913-1921

in 1913 she was 16 , and had younger siblings when they became orphans , its probable that they lived with other family , and she married in August 1921 and i know where she was by then . I am assuming she wouldn't have been eligible to vote , so electoral rolls wont be of any use ( will they ??) . Is there any other documents i could view that would list names of households or anything i could search by name to find out where she was and who she was living with

On her marriage certificate her address was the same as her husband , who had returned from WW1 in 1919 , so i don't think she'd been living with him for long

She could well have gone into Service aged 16. Maybe worth checking the Electoral Roll if she was head of household, Wives were not given the Vote until 1927 or 8. But any Lady who was Head of the Household would be on there. You can wait until the 2021 Census is available?? Or what about birth certificates for the younger children, how much younger were they, could one of them have been born about 1911? Do you have your Gt Grandmother on the 1911 Census, perhaps she stayed in that abode

Good advice , thanks ... yes i have her address in the 1911 census , her father had already died , her mother died in 1913 , so your saying if i try the electoral rolls for 1913 onwards for that address she may be on there ?

The Working Class did not get the Vote until 1918, so yes you can search after that year. You have to search by Street so would be best to start with the 1911 address. Being as your Gt Grandmother did not Marry until 1921 she was probably employed. Nursing maybe? Where did she live demographics could indicate where she was employed, what did her Marriage Certificate say?

Hi
She may not have been living at the same address as her husband when they married. People often seem to have done that, or a convenient near-by address, so as to be in the one parish and save having to read banns in both places - if it was a church wedding, obviously it may not have been.
You have the family in 1911? Depending on where they lived you might be able to find the younger kids on school records and see how far forward they go. The records are pretty patchy though so it would be a matter of getting lucky.
