Hello

I posted a message in January which I can't find now, has it been deleted.

Since then I have found out why South Australia is not accesible like NSW, VIC, WA, QLD etc. Electoral Rolls 1903-1954.

Apparently the Historical Society in S.A refused to let there Rolls be accessed like the rest of Australia.

It's a shame, lets hope one day whoever is in charge of records will change there mind.

thanking you kindly

Hi hsss

It is really annoying when you can't locate things just when you want them I do know :D

Is this the linked thread you mean?

There is another post along similar lines which indicated that it was more to do with privacy policy in that state.  Will see if I can find it for you. 

What was the source of your information and if it is online, could you please provide the url.

Cheers
