I wonder if it might be an idea to format this as a table, with a bit of information about each electorate (population, key towns, etc). It looks somewhat bare at the moment. Rebecca 06:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Former electoral districts

I'm sure I'd find others if I looked hard enough.

Can anyone confirm that Alexandra and Alexandrina were different names for either different places or different times, or is one a typo?

What timeframe are we talking about? I've got a copy of the biographical dictionary out from the library at the moment, as well as photocopies of the member lists for the first ten or so parliaments, so I might be able to help here. Rebecca 03:49, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Also the first incarnation of Electoral district of Torrens (1902-1915) is missing: Crawford Vaughan 1905.

Sorry for being slow responding. Life outside wikipedia is busy lately. --Scott Davis Talk 11:50, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
