Hi Linda >I haven't found an Australian online census Reason for that is the docs were never kept, so nothing to put on line ! Most of the 2004 census has been kept but a 100 year embargo You wouldnt be able to check such yet in English records and only just with American with the gradual relese of the US 1940 census Will have a look at some records later bye MargM Beautiful NSW Central Coast
