NSW - the agency that provides units to conduct unconventional and counter-guerilla warfare Naval Special Warfare Stale Records at Kingswood holds a list of all members of the 'Australian Hibernian Catholic Group' as at 30 June 1932. The records are part of the valuation returns of the Registry of Friendly Societies, and their call number is X792. It seems that the Registry embarked on an annual membership 'census'. each year focusing on a different society. Apart from the Hibernians in 1932 others included are the National Independent Order of Oddfellows (1931), the Grand United Order of Oddfellows (1933) and the Protestant Alliance Friendly Society (1934). The returns for the Hibernian Society are arranged by branch (parish) and each record shows the member's full name, occupation, marital status marital status, n the legal standing of a person in regard to his or her marriage state. , year of birth, and year of admission to the Society. They list the weekly contributions to the sick fund and funeral fund. In addition if a man's wife was registered then her date of birth (but not name) is shown. Around 152 branches are recorded, and members are mostly farmers taxi working people, with occupations such as railway employees, shop assistants, tradesmen, clerks and labourers. The branches are identified by the church name and branch number, but in most cases there is a covering letter containing the branch secretary's name and address, which helps to identify the locality. The records provide a snap-shot of the membership in 1932, but it seems that this census was not repeated, or if it was the records have not survived. Apart from the obvious value to any future historian of the Hibernians, the branch lists would be a useful footnote to parish histories.
