Hello List, I am looking for a Richard Delaney who was born in Tasmania in 1863 and maybe came to Victoria. There is an interesting Death Index entry of a man whose age at death is close to being what my relative's would have been. The abbreviation of place is MPNA and I have guessed at MEPUNGA near Warrnambool. Would anyone care to comment, please. Yours, Julie in England

Julie, That town may well be Mooroopna, which is just across the river from Shepparton (NE Vic). The area in which a lot of your research has been based.
