Do you have any idea if all the years are on ancestry?

I have been trying to get something to come up for my long established families, but the only thing I get is one reference to a
"Federal Directory for Newcastle and District 1901" .

I should have had a look before I asked the question about which years.  This is what the website says:

"This database currently includes electoral rolls for the following states and years:
Australian Capital Territory: 1928, 1935
New South Wales: 1930, 1936
Northern Territory: 1922, 1929, 1934
Queensland: 1903, 1905, 1913, 1919, 1925, 1930, 1936
Tasmania: 1914, 1919, 1928, 1936
Victoria: 1856, 1903, 1909, 1914, 1919, 1924, 1931, 1936
Western Australia: 1901, 1906, 1916, 1925, 1936"

Thanks, Jean.....absolutely nothing yet for South Australia. 

And you need a World Subscription to access it....

How do you mean a "world subscription" - are there different levels ?

Jean

[deeiluka]

Yes....I just have a subscription that allows me to access UK records......much cheaper. And they are the records I want to access most.

Dee I can access them and I only have the UK sub - which I have just cancelled - effective on 28thNov.  I am busy tracing all my rellies - had lots of success so far.

Cheers

That's strange, Cando...because I got the padlock this morning.

I'll try again.......
