Title: NSW Parish Maps
Post by: anniebelle on Wednesday 10 June 20 01:34 BST (UK)

I a trying to get copies of NSW Parish Maps from 1881 onwards.  Preferably digital copies.
It appears that these have to be sourced through private agents.  I am having trouble navigating the process.
Can anyone provide me with some guidelines as to how to do this?
With thanks,
Anniebelle

The NSW government sold off the functions of Lands Titles Office and the resources it was custodian to several years ago.  https://www.nswlrs.com.au/About/About/Announcements/12

The current (June 2020) website to help you with online access is https://www.nswlrs.com.au/

Here is the way forward at the present time : https://www.nswlrs.com.au/Parish-and-Historical-Maps

Do you already know the name of the County and also the Parish?   

Here are two threads that could help you further...

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=777978.0  The guidelines for those parish maps.


Happy to help further.
