Hello everyone! Wondering if anyone can advise me what Electoral Rolls are available for Queensland before 1900. I am looking for a Peter Murphy family who were living in Brisbane from about 1842 (married Sydney 1842) and were having children in Brisbane from about 1844 (baptised RC.) Peter Murphy was a convict who accompanied Patrick Leslie on his quest to find a route from northern NSW into Darling Downs. Peter was granted a Ticket of Leave in 1842 and a Pardon in 1847. He became a Police Constable in Brisbane and later moved to North Qld - Bowen and died in Charters Towers 1878. I have his death cert and marriage cert. Marriage says he married a Catherine Thompson who was also RC. It does not give anymore info about her. I am trying to obtain more information about this couple. They had children: Margaret 1844 Elizabeth 1846 Peter 1848 John 1850 Edward Joseph 1853 On the death cert of Peter Sr in 1878, it says there were 5 males dead and 1 female. Margaret was 34yrs, Elizabeth 32yrs and Peter 30yrs. Obviously, there were 3 more males and 1 female born to this couple - maybe died in infancy? Is anyone connected to this family or can help me track down some more details about this fellow? Thanks very much, Best wishes, Judy mailto:sajones@bigpond.net.au For information about my Genealogy Interests: http://sajones.bigblog.com.au/

Judy, there are state electoral rolls available on microfiche, (some people might have the CD's) our historical society does, so others would too, you won't find women till 1903 on Commonwealth rolls even if they didn't get to vote till later on... Have you looked at the historical births, deaths and marriages for Queensland on line, www.familysearch.org or try the www.rootsweb.com click world global connect..
