Electoral Districts 1943 NSW

[Shropgirl]

Help needed to find out the electoral district for this address:

14 Riverina Flats, 3 Park Parade, Waverley, NSW.

Assuming the sub-district is Waverley?

The only other information I have is partial name George Mac .....

Any help will be brilliant - thanks.

Dear Shropgirl,

Park Parade, Waverley. N.S.W. was, and still is, in the Electoral Division of Wentworth and Sub division of Bondi.

Although it might be called Waverley, because of its outlook across Waverley Park, its proxmity to Bondi Rd has Google maps listing it as Bondi. It basically straddles the border between the two suburbs and residents often interchange the suburb depending on what they had for breakfast that morning. My grandfather always called his address as Petersham but Dad called it Lewisham, even though they both lived in the same house. The official boundary was the croos strett 5 house blocks away!
These houses had a great view of the Cricket in summer!
If you go to google maps and search for 3 Park Parade, Bondi, you can see the 3 storey block of flats that would have been there circa 1943. Judging by other buildings of this style, it would have been built circa 1920-1930

Electoral Rolls are available at your local Shropshire library using Ancestry or Find-my-Past

Hope this helps,
