Mary, only available till 1949 on CD, contact the State Archives of Queensland - have you tried the newspaper site. Surely there is a historical society in Cairns or Mareeba that has some old rolls...

Jenelle, The lady doing the research in Cooktown couldnt find her and all or most of the family is buried there. But will contact the Mareeba and Cairns historical Societies if they might have some information. Still waiting for the Cairns Catholic Diocese to answer my email...hopefully next week! Thankyou, Kind regards, Mary. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenelle McCarrick" <jmac2005@tpg.com.au> To: <aus-qld@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 4:02 PM Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] Re Lenna NEILL > Mary, > only available till 1949 on CD, contact the State Archives of Queensland - > have you tried the newspaper site.
