Description
This series contains a record of Aborigines in the Kingston district including birth and marriage details. It appears that these pages were removed from a volume being the only pages in the volume containing information.
Information recorded includes name, address, date and place of birth, date and place of marriages, name of spouse, and remarks which may include comments about work and family, temperament, physical aptitude, and other personal details.
It is possible that this record was used to identify potential candidates for exemption from provisions of the Aborigines Act 1934 - 1939.
