Historical Electoral rolls

Electoral Rolls from the 1930's time period can be found on the Ancestry Library database.
available through our website but only for in library use
www.manly.nsw.gov.au/Online-Databases.html
These can be very helpful in identifying where people lived in different time periods, as the rolls are arranged in alphabetical order. Other family members with the same surname and at the same address can also be identified.
When in Ancestry Library - click on search on the first toolbar, then on Australia (part way down the page), then on NSW on the map...this takes you directly to resources just for NSW.
