NSW Electoral Rolls

[Freckle]

Good Morning,
I am after the early rolls from about 1900-1924 for NSW please. George H Hewitt, lived in Bingara
 (C 1849)
Many thanks in advance.

Cheers

I will look up my copy of the 1903 Electoral roll for that polling place for you.

Cheers, JM

Hi Freckle,
    Could this be him?  A George HEWITT of Bingara (with a wife and 7 children) who in 1891 won lots of  money

Something not quite right here.

NSW Electoral Roll 1903, GWYDIR, polling at Bingara.

George Henry HEWETT, of Bingara, domestic duties.

Yes, that is the spelling of the surname on this roll, and yes, that is the occupation as per this roll.

FindMyPast has the 1903/04 NSW Electoral Rolls, and that is a different set from the hardcopy rolls I have looked up to find the above entry.

Then there's the 1913 roll :

NSW ER 1913, BINGARA, polling at Bingara.
George HEWETT, Riddle St, labourer.

Cheers,  JM

Thank you majm and rosball,
I know from another Hewitt they can change the spelling so that does not surprise me. I think there are 2 George's in Bingara. One was charged with child neglect and 2 children removed, thats not the one I'm after. But.....if I can ever prove who his wife is (transcripts coming) she may have committed bigamy in the 1880's/90's.
Bingara is part of the Gwydir electorate. That win could be him. But I thought my George was a farmer. Grrr conflicting information for me. Been at this since 5am, lost my mojo for the day me thinks.
Thank you both so much, may have to get a few credits on FindMyPast.

Very grateful
Freckle

Thanks JM,
I did see that but my George is George H and Ada is one of 2 children listed for this particular couple George E and wife Elizabeth. George E is classed as half witted, My George has George H on his Bingara burial record and most other things.
New South Wales, Australia, Entrance Books for the Vernon and the Sobraon, 1867-1911. George E.
Living with his half witted prostitute wife and son Ernest born 1891. Another young child is not mentioned.
Think will have to leave it for to-day. Too knackered. Can't concentrate
Thank you so much for your kind assistance, much appreciated.

Cheers
