Hi Trish
Many thanks for this info.
Can you tell me please was there a census done in NSW around 1900-1910 or there abouts?
Cheers

No Australian census data post 1841 has survived Julie

Electoral rolls are available for every year - but not online. If you check on ancestry.com.au you can see what is online. Every adult from age 21 (now 18) was eligible to vote from 1901, but I believe it wasn't compulsory until some years later, so folks may not always be on the rolls. Despite compulsory voting, some folks never register so they don't vote.

Hi Trish
Thanks so much for this info, much appreciated.  Darn shame about the census data.  I was thinking that may be my last hope.  Oh well, never mind.  Just have to keep on hunting.
Thanks again.
cheers

Never was a truer word spoken - somewhat stronger sentiments have been known to be expressed

Your lady may have gone interstate - left the country - I just found one after a search started by other family members in the 1980s - so she might turn up - keep looking

Hi Trish,
You have found the right Campbell family, Eliza and her son and daughter, no father who is the John Donald I am looking for.
Thank you for you help,
Nola.

Sorry - I found no trace of Dad - there are just too many John MacDs to have any idea which may be him

Hi Trish
Believe me I did use much stronger sentiments when I read what you wrote about the census records - thought I better not put it on paper tho 

Have checked Victoria where some of the family moved to but hadn't actually thought to look for her heading back overseas.  Will give that a go.  She has to be somehwhere...

Thanks again
Julie
