Births, Deaths & Marriages in Queensland.  In 1823, John Oxley sailed north from Sydney to inspect Port Curtis (now Gladstone) and Moreton Bay as possible sites for a penal colony.  In September 1824, he returned with soldiers and established a temporary settlement at Redcliffe. On December 2, the settlement was transferred to the Central Business District (CBD) and Brisbane subsequently became a penal settlement for re-offenders.  In 1839 the transportation of convicts ended and by 1842 free settlement was established.Civil registration of births, deaths and marriages did not begin in Queensland until 1 March 1856.  Indeed, Queensland was still annexed to New South Wales as late as 1859.  Thus, when searching Queensland's vital records, it is necessary to also search New South Welsh records prior to this period.

Census Records Australia: the first organised survey of the New South Wales population occurred in 1795 in response to Governor Hunter's call for a muster of the inhabitants. Musters provided both a population count and a formal record as to whether the individual received provisions from the Government.  General musters, which included all the inhabitants of the Colony, were generally held once a year between 1795 and 1825.  These were supplement by  individual musters which counted settlers, livestock, convicts, females and children.  The first census was held in November 1828; then 1833, 1836, 1841, 1846, 1851, 1856, 1861 and subsequent decades till 1901.  Unfortunately only the 1841, 1891 (no names) and 1901 census have survived, at least within Australia (a copy of the 1828 Census is available from the National Archives in England.

Note: Indigenous Australians were not included in the Commonwealth Census until a referendum saw the abolishment of Section 127 of the Constitution in 1967.

Electoral Rolls in Australia include Local, State and Federal.  From 1843 to 1856, only men owning freehold property or of wealth were permitted to vote.  From 1858, all adult males who had lived in the electorate for the preceding six months, and who were British subjects by birth, or had been naturalised for five years and had lived in the colony for the preceding two years were required to vote (excluding police, serving members of the armed forces, paupers, prisoners and the indigenous).  In 1893, the property vote and the six months residence requirement were abolished.  In 1902, Australian women gained the right to vote in both Commonwealth and New South Wales elections.  In 1955, electors of either sex had to be British subjects by birth or naturalisation and be aged 21 years or more. In the case of New South Wales, electors must have lived in Australia for six months, in the state for three months and in the relevant electoral sub-division for one month before enrolment.  In 1962, Aborigines were given the option to vote in Federal Elections but were still denied a vote in State elections.  Compulsory enrolment and voting for Australian Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders was not introduced until 1984.

Note:
Until 1970 an 'adult' was classified as 21 years of age and over.  By 1974, the Commonwealth and other states had dropped the age to 18 years.
