    If my grandparents moved to Australia in 1960, would they be in the 1963 census ?

    Did Canada take a census in 1963? I thought it was 1961 and if he moved in 1960 then he would have filled in a census however it is not open for you to see..... From what I read Canada releases census for public viewing after 92years

          Presume you are referring to electoral rolls rather than a census?

                I'm pretty sure that British subjects did not need to become Australian citizens to have the right to vote in Australian elections in the 1960s....so I would think that your grandparents would have been on the electoral rolls if they chose to exercise that right.

                (My computer is on a 'go slow' at the moment so it is taking a while to bring up the article I need to confirm that statement)

                  My 2x Great Aunt (Sarah Newsholme) moved to Australia in 1912 and she's in the electoral role for 1913 so I wouldn't imagine that you would need to be an Australian Citizen with the paperwork etc. Wait, is that what you actually meant Beverley?

                    The first 5 year cycle census was begun in 1961 , but it is my belief that after the records are processed by the ABS the records are then destroyed because of a lack of storage space. Also much of previous records have been destroyed for the same reason.

                    If you google Australian census records you will find quite a lot of articles on the subject.

                      I know that things changed in later years. My husband's grandparents (Scottish) arrived in 1915 and were on the electoral rolls, but I have a feeling that after the European Common market etc etc, late 1960s, you didn't have automatic right to vote as an immigrant from Britainbut had to take out Australian citizenship ...but I can't remember exactly when the changes occurred and as I said, my computer is going so slow right now, it is making googling difficult. I googled for 'British voting rights in Australia in 1960' and a reference came up, but I can't open it as yet

                        I do know that my Nanna and Granddad Phillips were going to Immigrate to the same place in the 60/70's and they needed to have a reference, jobs, a home and so forth before they could go over but luckily they never went in the end. Imagine having to put up with hisses *shudders*

                          My family has told me that My grandfathers brother and my grandmothers sister came out first. They were married.

                          What does putting up with the hisses mean ?

                            I have a phobia of very large worms, something which Australia is known for.

                              Oh the snakes lol They aren't too common in the built up city areas. Mainly only a problem if you live on properly or close to the bush.
