1949 Electoral lookup please
« on: Thursday 01 January 09 20:37 GMT (UK) »
Hello and happy New Year

Was wondering if anyone had access to commonwealth electoral roll 1949.  I am looking for;

Frederick Noble Fisher  born abt 1915 near Charters Towers

and his father

William Noble Fisher b 1884 Birmingham. Have his records QLD, Charters Towers, Ingham, Mt Isa between 1905-1930.  Hoping he may still be alive in 1949.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated.


Many thanks

kind enough to have a look for me.

Hello Mariac and Robert,

Appreciate your lookups, many thanks. The only
possibility is Mariac's William at Collinsville. Mariac
is there any chance of advising any other occupants
at this residence.
