Offer:Queensland Electoral Rolls 1839 -1925

[LHurrey]

Hi,

My University Library has paper copies of electoral rolls up until 2000. I am willing to do lookups of names in regions. Obviously, the more information you can provide the better as there are many volumes each year!

Cheers,

Lucy

Modified to add dates available:

Library has (some state and some commonwealth): 1893-1915; 1925; 1977-1979; 1961-1983; 1983; 1984-2000.
Library lacks: G-W 1893; 1897; G-W 1899; 1902; A-E 1913; A-M 1925

Hi Lucy.
 Could you please look for Gwenda Ruby Hansen for me in the 2000 electoral roll. In 1980 she was living in a suburb named Graceville (a suburb of Brisbane).
Thanking you
Mariona

You may be on holidays now but I would like to know about my husbands parents They lived in Allenstown Rockhampton. I met Grandfather Bill in 1964 but his wife was already deceased. William Edward Smith born 1872 in Birmingham Warickshire She wife was Ada Goodwin Smith born 1872 in Weeping Cross Staffordshire. Deaths unknown I am not even sure if this information is true as I can find no record of their births so I hope you are lucky Thanks Anne

Queensland deaths are only indexed up to 1964.
Do you have any idea of when Ada died, or her parents names?
Or when they came to Australia?
There is no Ada Goodwin Smith death listed (Qld) 1/1/1900 to 31/12/1964 but there are
9 with just Ada as first name/s, and 5 of these are in country locations (assuming she died in Rockhampton).

Grandfather Bill presumably lasted after 1964 as he doesn't come up in a search either.

There is a William Smith aged 95 death, 30 August 1976, buried North Rocky Cemetery - This is the largest cemetery in Rockhampton, as far as I am aware.  Religion listed as C/E.
If he was born 1872 then the age is wrong but I note you don't have his actual birth detail?

No Ada Smith in North Rockhampton Cem.

There is a cemetery listed as South Rockhampton, which would be the closest to Allenstown, but neither of them appear to be there, and most of the dates seem much earlier than the 1960s.

Hi, can you please help me and check the electoral roles for Queensland for my aunt - Dorothy E Savage (b. 1925) and cousin Michael Savage (b.1950?).

They emigrated to Australia in 1980 and for a time lived in Deception Bay.

Many thanks
Lyn.
