If you had family living in New South Wales in 1883, have you thought of
looking at the Police Gazettes for information? These really are a historian's goldmine
of information. Compiled to be distributed amongst the Police Force only, these
Gazettes contain information that can not be found anywhere else. Far from just
listing those who were in the Police Force, or those that were on the 'wrong
side' of the law - you will also find entries of missing persons, those that
were a victim of crime, or had something stolen from them. Or they have found an
item and reported it to the Police.
Of course you also get weekly information on housebreaking, robberies, arson,
murders, lost horses and cattle, deserters (both from H.M. Service, and also
from families), escaped prisoners and reports on
those released ... as well as some information from interstate police gazettes.
Totaling nearly 550 pages, this CD contains images of all 52 issues New South Wales Police Gazette for
1883 together with an extensive index,
Example entry taken from the 25 April 1883 issue:
