Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980
about Majorie Grace Wright
Name:
Majorie Grace Wright
Gender:
Female
Electoral Year:
1968
State:
New South Wales
District:
Eden Monaro
Subdistrict:
Queanbeyan

as you have foundan immigration record. Did she come to Australia with anyone.
Using the online electrol rolls there is a woman of that name living at the same address as a Percy John Wright in 1963. The only other time this name appears she is living alone ( no other adults).
If you think Percy is her hubbie then there is a private tree on Ancestry that would be worth following up on.

Yes I have checked out the electral rolls and I crossed matched with passenger lists
and thats how I got the surname Wright as they left England within the time frame I had allowed she was Marjorie Grace.I don't think the child was adopted out I think it might have been brought up with Marjorie and her husband,my father just drifted in and out of my live until the late 70s and then he settled down. Marjorie Grace Wright was born in 1918

If your father was born about 1920, is that an approximate year of birth for Marjorie, or a lot later?

Thank-you

hi Susan,
was you half sister adopted out. If so there are official avenues you can use to help find her.
Marjorie Wright is a very common name. There are 5 without a middle names and 15+ with second names in NSW 1958.
5 in NSW with no middle name so you will have to find more information in order to eliminate some.... do you know an approx date of birth for Marjorie

I am trying to trace ,someone who could be my half sister ,she would have been born in Queenbeyan nsw Australia about 1960,her mothers name was Marjorie with the possible surname of Wright(not confirmed),I believe Marjorie was an Hairdresser,who came to Australia in the late 1950s,her and my father had known each other previously in Leeds Yorkshire.
