Another discussion on the mailing list a couple of months ago was about electoral rolls. Here are some examples:
Carole Riley‘s electoral roll tag is one-size-fits-all with the details of the division/district/etc in the memo field:
[P] <was|and [PO] were> listed on the <[M1]> electoral roll <with occupation [M2]> <[D]> <[L]>
Kay Sturgeon‘s electoral roll tag:
[:CR:][:CR:][P] <was|and [PO] were>registered<[D]> [M1] Electoral Roll <[L]> ; [M2]
Joseph Cooten Tucker was registered in 1903 Division of Wide Bay, Subdivision Drummer’s Creek Electoral Roll in Cambria Flat, QLD, Australia; occupation miner.
As a married man:
Joseph Cooten Tucker and Eva Lillian Tucker were registered in 1913 Division of Lilley, Subdivision Enoggera Electoral Roll in Alice Street, Newmarket, QLD, Australia; occupations Railway Employee and Home Duties.
The added extra I have done is to create a reminder memo under the Other tab as under which shows me exactly how I should be entering the information up to keep it consistent and showing the source numbers for each state which have different repositories. I just copy paste Division and Subdivision sometimes it changes to Ward or District.

Jonathan Auld gave two examples with separate male and female sentence structures:

VIC(1856-1936) and WA(1903-54) as the VIC & WA rolls are the ones I have
been using most frequently.
