Hi Terry, Check out the State Library site for your newspapers http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/cat/ click on State reference library and then highlight newspaper and put in Beaudesert that will give you what is available. BTW don't overlook the CM lots of my notices were put in there too. I think you will find the papers have altered over the years and been absorbed so you will need to check. Also make sure they are at Cannon Hill you may have to order in advance. The Queenslander also had some pretty good photos and I think is name indexed. Beaudesert also has a fantastic museum where you might be lucky enough to find photos on the wall. Several of mine are there with the next generation families as well. Would be worth a visit if you could make it. Mind you there are lots of books on the area for sale there like school centenaries etc where there are school photos. going way back. Will try to look in some of mine to see if the names are there. Woodhill State School Admission records in 125th anniversary book start 1873 with pupil names but photos are from later years although there are some as early as 1905. It helps of course that my gggfther donated the land for the school so I got lots on my family but many names of early settlers are there as well. My mothers generation is at another school in the area but I do not have the book at the moment. but she was born 1908 and there is a SCHOOL photo of all her family but her as she had left by then. I will keep an eye out for your names as I research as I am working on my Beaudeserts clans at the moment from various sources and will be checking notices.
