Matthew McElroy

[Jan Prit]

I am trying to find the 1841 or later Census in N.S.W. Australia for Matthew McElroy the one that married Alice Weir in Ireland, I tried on Ancestry and the other Matthew comes up all the time in 1828 with Sarah and MaryAnn, having no luck with this family.

N.S.W.
Since 1841, no census survives. A number from the last century were lost in a major fire, and none from this century has been retained, apparently for reasons of protection of privacy, and a fear that failure to do so would put the accuracy of the census in doubt.

Did you read the bit I quoted for N.S.W.?

You don't seem to be reading what I posted correctly 

No N.S.W. census 1841 onward is available- some lost in a fire, others more recent because of privacy reasons will not be released.

Thank you aghadowey I have searched the BDM. in N.S.W. Victoria. and Queensland no luck with this search, have no idea if they stayed in N.S.W. or moved as they aren't in the 1841 Census for N.S.W.
