Ancestry may have been a tad stretching the description as they seem to put Australian and New Zealand electoral rolls under the heading 'Census'.

A******y has a proven track record of stretching things. It was admonished some years ago by the UK's Advertising Standards Authority for claiming that they offered 'everything you need to research your UK ancestry' - in spite of the fact that they had, and still have, no access to certificates of births, deaths and marriages for any part of the UK, unless someone has (in breach of copyright) posted (a) certificate(s) there.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
