Marty, thanks for your response. Yes I am a new subscriber to this list and I did try to look at the archives for reference to Herbert street but at the time my internet connection was giving me so much grief that I gave up in disgust. However, since reading your mail I have had another go and persevered until I got through the whole list. I have no doubts now about the street becoming Astor Terrace but do you know in what time period. Would it have been after the 1936 Electoral Roll? I also need to check the State Electoral Rolls to confirm that address and, also, the Registration of Nurses Records for 1929. Can you tell me where to find those records as my sister will be in Brisbane early next week and will have time to do some research. Thanks again, Llew Hodges

Well, if you found that address in the 1936 electoral roll, presumably that was still its name. In 1956, it is listed as Astor Terrace, so it changed somewhere in between the two. Kerry
