......what years were you after? There was a census c1900 in NSW. ..... In case it helps..... each State's Library will check early records including electoral rolls for you. ..Valerie

Hi Valerie,
I wanted two quite early ones to check-1851 and 1861 as I was trying to see if the two convicts carried on living there or moved on
thanks

Not sure if you are aware but the NLA is putting archived newspapers online here:

The search is reasonably good - and you can narrow down by years/states etc.
There are references to tickets of leave etc amongst other things

There are some NSW and Tasmanian convict records on Ancestry and the Tasmanian Archives have a lot of stuff online

Good luck - hopefully they have slightly unusual names???
