Find Ancestors

Do you check Australian Records as I would love some information on Census or whatever can be found. I have his marriage to Chloris Victoria Fox 1910. She was born 1892. All these have taken place in Victoria Australia.
Any help would be appreciated.

Cherilyn...........

What wonderful information you have found here for Julia - she is going to be absolutely thrilled.!

Well done!

Dea x

Cherilyn, how can I thank you for all this lovely information, my son-in-law is thrilled with everything you have found out and it has given me so much to work with. I really appreciate everything you have done.
Julia

My pleasure, Julia :-) (and thank you, Dea!)

They are a very interesting family and there is certainly plenty more to be found. Let me know if you get stuck down the track.

Happy New Year!

Thank you Cherilyn, I certainly will. Can you get Australian Census as there is something there that I would like to check up on as I have a query with some family members that don't gel with what was on the Obituary which obviously is the correct one.
Happy New Year to you too.
Julia

No there are no census records available - early ones were destroyed and more recent ones are protected by the Privacy Act for 99 years.

Electoral roll might be helpful depending what years you are seeking.?

??? Taking one year at random (Eleanor is on ER for a number of years, at this and other addresses) -

With John Bodycoat, dairyman.


Eleanor Bodycoat

Name: Eleanor Bodycoat
Electoral Year: 1922
Subdistrict: Wallan Wallan
State: Victoria
District: Corio
Country: Australia
Residence Address: Epping, Home Duties, P


At another address in 1922 (Woodstock, Wallan Wallan) are these people:

Agnes Bodycoat, home duties
Arthur Bodycoat, farmer
Daniel Bodycoat, farmer
Ethel Bodycoat, home duties
William Bodycoat, farmer.

And at yet another address in 1922 ( Wollert, Wallan Wallan) are Margaret Ann and Phebe Lenora Bodycoat, both home duties.

Thank you for the last few messages, shame about the Census as I wanted to find out earlier on the families of some of the Bodycoats
