If you had family living in New South Wales in 1931, have you thought of looking in Police Gazettes for
information? These are a truly unique, useful and extremely fascinating resource
for local, family and social historians.
Compiled to be distributed amongst the Police Force only, these Gazettes
contain details and information that can not be found anywhere else. Apart from
any changes within the police force which are all listed (promotions, demotions,
dismissals, deaths etc), information is also given on housebreak-ins, robberies,
arson, murders, lost horses and cattle, deserters, escaped prisoners, missing
friends, reports on
those released, even deaths reported to the police (together with their place of
death and cause of death given). Notices from interstate police gazettes are
sometimes included.
A fascinating read for learning about the social history of the time, even if
you don't have family there - this CD contains all 52 issues that were produced for
the year.

contain lists of Publicans' licences issued. Information that these give is
