This recordset is a transcription of a box of, mostly handwritten, cards in it and the title Poll Books 1832-68. The compiler has used as their basis the 1859 Poll records and then added more information. This is primarily the way the person voted in the local elections from 1832-1868 but also includes varying bits of other personal information including things like addresses/occupations over the time period, and a variety of others snippets which can include family or personal details.
