  • Ancestry: New South Wales, Australia, Police Gazettes, 1854-1930

    This list shows a record for Effie Macleod, dated 22 Jan 1930, in Sydney NSW - desertion.

    Does anyone know how much detail this record might show?? I haven't got a Ancestry sub at present - just FMP - and don't want to fork out somewhere between £10 and £20 for something that might just repeat what the index says. Can anyone who has a sub let me know what I might expect??

    Many thanks,
    Kind regards,
    William

      Thank you very much, Elaine. Poor Effie had a hard life - her first husband (who she divorced) was a thief and a wife-beater. Her second husband (who was her first cousin) died in in the flu outbreak of 1919 and now you tell me that her third husband deserted her. What a nightmare :(

      Thanks again!
      Kind regards,
      William
