Hi All, Having posted the links to the New South Wales, Aus, State Records, I have had a number of private responses of thanks. If we all post any new findings of online records or a link to overseas records it will add to the knowledge of the SSX listers and an avenue of research they may never have taken as far as family members relocating to countries outside the UK. How many families "go missing" between census? Australian States have their own records they are not all in a centralised "Australian Archive or Library", unlike the UK each state holds their own BDMs. We do have the National Archives of Australia that has deposits from all states but their main archive is from Federation in 1901. All Service Records for soldiers who signed up for WWI are digitised and freely available to download from the NAA website. The National Library of Australia has beta digitised many newspapers from around Australia from the beginning of colonisation, these contain a wealth of information. More records are becoming available through the different Australian State agencies, I noticed the PRO of Victoria is also adding more and more to their online collection too. Tasmania has digitised many records, especially those dealing with Convicts, Queensland State Library has indexed items in the Australian Joint Copying Project with the UK. I haven't delved into South Australian nor Western Australian records, someone from those areas may wish to post further information. If we don't advertise what is available to overseas researchers it takes more time for them to find information that is freely available. Hoping this is of help to others on the list. Regards, Jenny Lake Macquarie NSW Aus

Hi Jenny, Cora Num's website is one of the best online for an overview of available Australian records - http://www.coraweb.com.au/local.htm But, as you say, as new resources become available every day, its a good idea to post other sites as we find them.

I don't wish to put anyone off from enlightening the list with non Sussex info but please be very careful of getting your knuckles rapped. It matters not to some listers that you are living in Australia or Timbucktoo but wherever you are the subject must be Sussex. I experienced the gasp, horror, disgust and listowner disapproval that I dared to ask requesting that perhaps Australian listers could help me but I found my Sussex roots uncle in Perth and I'm going out there this year. His son is one of the most famous actors and household name all round the globe. Personally I welcome all the knowledge wherever it comes from, I've been using a lot of the suggestions already but thought no one in Sussex would be interested. Our ancestors lead us to look for them outside of their birthplace its up to us if we choose to follow them.

I have Sussex and many other interests, but this reply - about Cora Num's site - enabled me, on Monday to find information in Australia about 1. a family who emigrated from Surrey/Sussex borders to Queensland. (Caroline Duterrau Robinson and her brother, sister and widowed father) 2. Then, in following another Australian connexion (Van Diemens land) to the same extended family followed back and found the granddaughter of Benjamin Duterrau married in Devon to a barrister and Master of the Supreme Court, Twynihoe William Erle, who, my deduction shows, lived both in London and Cuckfield Sussex. My ancestors travelled immensely from the 16th century onwards. Information is scattered worldwide. All this recent discovery was thanks to the Sussex list - albeit a bit obliquely....
