Dear Keith, >From the Ryerson Index of newspaper death Notices: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nswsdps/ausdr163.htm ROBERTS, Mary Teresa Death: 01 FEB 1975 85 Death late of Chester Hill Burial: 03 FEB 1975 Sydney Morning Herald May I suggest that you e-mail the local free weekly newspaper "The Torch" to see if they have anything in their archives on the ROBERTS family of Chester Hill, particularly Mary Teresa "The Torch" has been published continuously since 1923 by the Engisch Family, and still is ! http://www.torchpublishing.com.au/ E-mail: torch@torchpublishing.com.au Bankstown City Library: There is a specialist Librarian who looks after the Local and Family History section of the library http://www.bankstowncity.nsw.gov.au/lib/index.cfm e-mail: libraries@bankstown.nsw.gov.au There's an outside chance that Mary Teresa was known to some of the older Chester Hill Branch Library staff. There is a Bankstown Historical Society, so from the UK, it would be better advised to contact via the Bankstown City Library: If you need a map of the Bankstown / Chester Hill or any other area of Australia, use: http://www.whereis.com.au Although I grew up on the south side of Bankstown, I'm too far away from there these days to do any foot work research for you. Kind regards, Tony Moore (Balgo, Western Australia) @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ On 17 Oct 2006 at 17:52, KEITH ROBERTS wrote: Date sent: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 17:52:17 +0100 (BST) From: KEITH ROBERTS <skrimhe@btinternet.com> To: AUS-NSW-SYDNEY@rootsweb.com Subject: [ANS] Bankstown Send reply to: aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com > Hello list, <<snipped>>> > A search of the NSW BDM`s revealed that George Thomas ROBERTS died > in 1943 in Banks town.
