      Hi flashieboy
      Thank you for your reply, do you have any suggestion on how to follow up on this, as John was mention by local researcher as been on the Electoral in the late 1800's

        Ancestry shows that in the 1901 census, Catherine Donnellan lived in Rusden (?) St Armidale, on her own. Her death shows as 1903, but she did not get into the Electoral Roll. Before 1901 there were no federal electoral rolls (which is what ancestry has), only state rolls. You might have to check the state library of NSW - I know they have old electoral rolls, but don't know how far back they go. Or NSW state records.

        Have you tried TROVE newspapers database ?

          Hello Diane
          Thank you for your reply this is my Catherine Donnellan living in Rusden St Armidale I didn't have that information that another piece of the puzzle. Catherine died 1903 and John died 1879 I have seen their surname name spelt so many different ways. Donnellen/Donellan/Donelan/Donelian/Donnelan/ Donnallen/Donnellan the last one seems to be the way it is spelt the most. I appreciate your aissistance
