If you are researching, and looking for people in Sydney, Suburbs and County New South Wales around the 1867-1868 era, have you thought of using directories? These are great not only in listing thousands of names of householders, but also for providing details of their occupation and address. They are a valuable tool in helping track where a person was at a certain period of time.
