Is there any way I can find out who was living at this address in 1922?
1 Raleigh Street, Windsor, Victoria
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

The electoral rolls for the period are available but,from memory,can only be searched by family name.

There are a few more articles in Trove for that address. All i entered in was 1 Raleigh Street Windsor in the "The phrase" section.

The usual place to check addresses is in the Sands & McDougall Post Office Directories, which lists alphabetically and also by suburb and street. The State Library of Victoria has these digitised at five year intervals, so you won't get 1922 precisely, but you would get 1920 or 1925. www.slv.org.au They were, however, an annual series up to 1974, and with a bit of luck you might find a set in a genie library somewhere near you. Maybe.
