Australian Electoral Roll 1903-1954

Hi

Can anyone help with info on Peter Vernon Etchells born in Mar qrt 1926 in Macclesfield Cheshire, believed to have emigrated to Australia, Corangamite, Victoria, Australia. I don't know when he emigrated, or whether he married.
Any info is much appreciated, Thankyou in anticipation.

Hi Pauline.

He appears in the 1954 roll as a farmhand, living in Skipton, Corangamite, Victoria (no exact address given).
He also appears in the 1949 roll living in Skipton, this entry is a handwritten addendum, which suggests he may only have arrived in the area in that year.

Some more recent electoral rolls for you:

1963 - Dereel, Vic. [farmer]; w/ Sheila Doreen [home duties], likely his wife
1963 - Buninyong, Vic. [manager]; w/ Sheila. (Two entries in the separate Divisions suggests he moved between them that year. It is likely that he moved from Dereel [Corangamite Subdivision] to Buninyong [Sebastopol Subdivision])
1968 - Simpson Street, Buninyong, Vic. [manager]; w/ Sheila [h.d.]
1972 - Simpson Street, Buninyong, Vic. 3357 [manager]; w/ Sheila [h.d.]
1977 - 601 Simpson Street, Buninyong, Vic. 3357 [manager]; w/ Sheila [h.d.]
1980 - 601 Simpson Street, Buninyong, Vic. 3357 [manager]; w/ Sheila Doreen [h.d.], Andrew Gordon [student] & Timothy Peter [student] (These last two are likely his sons)
