ELECTORAL ROLL help to find Richard Richardson

[Shadrach]

Could I request help please finding information on the Electoral Roll, or anywhere else, about Richard Richardson.
He was born in Victoria in 1891 and eventually moved to Sydney probably in the early 1900s.
The only address I have for him is in 1957, in Burlington Road Strathfield.

Hi Shadrach,
   There are a few Richard RICHARDSON's on electoral rolls in Sydney in that time frame.   Do you have parents' names or other info so we can eliminate some possibilities (using other resources)?

   Are you sure that the Richard RICHARDSON in Strathfield is your man?  (perhaps you have letters from him ...?  Or you know that he was an artist? or you know that the lady also living at that address was his wife?)

regards
   Ros

Hi there,

I am not related to the Richard RICHARDSON who Ros has found on the electoral roll at Strathfield, BUT .... I can confirm that there's more than a few chaps born back in the 1890s who were living in the Sydney metro areas for many decades in the 20th Century, as I am related to several.  There's a father/son and uncle/nephew naming pattern in 'my' Dick Richardson families.   

The various state/territory and Commonwealth Electoral Rolls are not the equivalent of say the UK or USA Census.  They are not issued by household order.  They do not give the age of the elector, nor their marital status, nor the names of others in the household who are not old enough to enrol, and if there are others in the household with a different surname then those electors are found elsewhere in the rolls, listed under their own surname. 

Cheers,  JM
