What do the letters mean on the 1980 Australian Electoral Roll?
« on: Monday 30 April 18 12:42 BST (UK) »
Could anyone tell me what the number in the left column is, and what the letter means next to it?

Many thanks :)

The four digits followed by a letter ... they are a check to make sure nothing duplicated or omitted in the EDP system.

Sorry, I meant the other letters that are on the middle of this image.

Starts (for the people I'm looking in to):

1803 C Corten, Colin Edwyn...
1804 J Corten, Colin Vincent...
1805 B Corten, Imelda...
1806 H Corten, Kathleen Mary

So it's just a code as such, it doesn't really mean anything in terms of anything I would need to know for family tree purposes?
