Anyone visiting Northamptonshire Records Office?

I visited Northampton recently for the first time in many years due to family bereavement. I had only one day to visit the NRO. Naturally that was Monday - when they are closed!! I live in northern Scotland now so do not know when the next chance will arise.

If anyone visits or is visiting the NRO regularly I was wanting to do the following in the Electoral Registers:-

1) Find out families with surname Watson in Hartwell Northants over the period 1958 to say 1970. 1958 is most important. Do not know which years are covered by Electoral Registers.

2) Find out family names for people living in Salcey Lawn / Salcey Lodge in Hartwell Northants in the 1930's. I know there are no registers for the war period (1939 etc). I believe there are a number of cottages as well as a big house there.

I am guessing that, as Hartwell is quite small, it would not be a big job but if anyone could look at any part of the above I would be very grateful.

Thanks.
