The Government Gazettes (major libraries and institutions) for 1858 and 1859 have many many lists of petitioners for and against the proposal of forming their local area into a municipality. A good way to locate ancestors in a locality. Buried amongst these were the appendices for the proposal for and against the formation of Randwick/Botany Council. Here you were given a voice even if you lived in a tent or worked in an asylum. Regards ...........Rusheen. Appendix No.1.: NON RESIDENTS. Joseph John WATTS, Prospect. James POWELL, Sydney.
