Hi,

The Electoral Rolls on Ancestry are Commonwealth Rolls the Queensland State Electoral Rolls can be found at the Queensland State Archives and these rolls were annotated, that is when an enrolled person changed address, died, did not vote etc the rolls were often annotated accordingly. 

If your Frederick can be positively identified as being on a State Roll then just keep checking the following rolls until a death annotation might be found.  I have had some great successes using these rolls.

If you want to contact the Queensland State Archives with a query use the following address.

I am willing to go to the State Archives to see if Fred is listed on the State rolls. (I find the districts/divisions confusing and they do change, so any guidance in where to look location wise would be most welcome  ;))

Agree with Gerry that annotations can be very useful too.
