South Australia, Commonwealth Electoral Rolls 1939-1943

SOUTH AUSTRALIA, COMMONWEALTH ELECTORAL ROLLS, 1939 - 1943

Electoral rolls are the nearest thing Australians have to census records, and hence are extremely useful genealogy tools for local, family and social historians. They're one of the best ways to explore your family history and are essential in building a family tree.

"What will I find in these census records?"

This data set contains the census records for three separate years - 1939, 1941 & 1943 - for the following South Australian regions: Barker, Boothby, Grey, Hindmarsh & Wakefield.
