The following is an index to Certifcates of Freedom and Tickets of Leave for New South Wales. Few Tickets of Leave were issued this year,because the Government decided to suspend the issue of these Tickets while reforming their system of isse "Government Notice. Colonial Secretary's Office May 2nd 1826 The Impositions which are practised in Order to obtain Tickets of Leave, and the Facility with which Individuals, of the worst Character, obtain Certificates, as "honest, sober, and industrious" Persons, have rendered it necessary to suspend the Issue of 'Ticekts of Leave" until some Arrangements more effectual than the present can be established.Applications for Ticekts of Leave cannot, therefore, be acted on, until the present Regulations are Revised. By Command of His Excellency the Governor Alexander McLeay.' http://www.hotkey.net.au/~jwilliams4/scons26a.htm best wishes Jenny Fawcett

Hi Marg, As a matter of interest, what percentage of the population agreed to their papers being kept, do you know? I happened to be at home (in Tweed Heads) for that census, and made sure everyone I talked to gave permission, but none of them seemed to understand the importance of it before I nagged them. If people didn't agree, I take it their papers will be shredded, as per the status quo? Regards Pam An Aussie transplanted to Rotorua, NZ.

Hi Robyn This is a Rootsweb data base that many volunteers are contributing to . Its along the lines of the Free BMDs site and it is ONLY for the UK As a general rule of thumb census docs have NEVER been kept here . There are a few exceptions like part of the 1841 census of SA and NSW somehow survived Have you forgotten the last question in our last census ask for permission to keep this doc for 100 yrs. First time thats ever happened. bye MargM Member of Central Coast FHS Gosford, NSW
