If you wish to make contact with living relatives, try looking in search all member trees...........it's under the 'search' button - top right

Two members other than you have PHYLLIS in their GR trees

Hi Frances - the 'NSW State Library' (on-line) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service. They will check electoral rolls past & present.

(the 'National Library of Aus' (Canberra) covers ALL States)
