Ancestry has a partnership relationship with NSW State Records at present.  You should not anticipate finding the NSW 1891 or 1901 census images that Ancestry has uploaded using NSW SR resources to provide you with quality information about your ancestors.

I did try to use that website but didnt understand it? also i cannot afford to pay for extras on my ancestry and other sites at the moment.

Ancestry has been freely available at many NSW public libraries for quite a number of years. 

It is against the terms and conditions of most commercial websites for their subscriber members to look up for third parties. 

RChat also has Terms and Conditions. 

A good option covering Redfern in the years you are asking about, would be the Sands Directories, which are freely available from the City of Sydney website.  They have Assessment books transcribed there too.   The live links are at NSW Resources board here at RChat, But here they are again.

Also, NSW State Records .... here's some background guide material from their website

It turns out that I have access to all the publications of the Cowra Family History Group at my local library.

They have cemetery records and lots of other helpful information about towns within 50 km of Cowra. Town cemeteries include Cowra, Boorowa, Carcoar, Canowindra, Morongla, Woodstock, Lyndhurst, Frogmore/Hovell's Creek, Neville, Rugby, Rye Park, and Reid’s Flat.
This is a full list of their publications: http://cfhg.webs.com

I am happy to do photocopies/scans for anyone that needs any (just message me), but the Cowra Family History Group can also be contacted directly if you are looking for someone in their area: Research Questions & Inquiries - you will be able to find their email address by clicking on the website.

Hi Tracey,
What a great resource and kind offer.
I wonder, if you were to change the title of your post so it was a little more specific, it might catch the eye of those searching in the particular area.

Maybe something like "Cowra and district family records look ups"

Anyhow, just a thought
