Robert I was not sure of the dates but the State Library has a full set of all vic newspapers. I spent a day going through them last week. Only found a couple of what I was looking for though. I am not sure where you are situated. You could try google for the historical societies, There are many of them. If you are looking for deaths have you tried the cemeteries for headstones & details, they are a great source. Carmel ----- Original Message ----- From: "KEMSLEY, Robert N.
