H all, The NLA http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home hs lots of reports, in most states, of both the drownings and the regatta , there was also one in Tasmania in which the Victor took part. They make interesting reading but I could find no names other than those already mentioned in the Geelog advertiser. If you have an idea of teh name you a looking for it wold most likely make it easier to search in family notices. regards Robyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stan & Linda Edwards" <edwslsj@iprimus.com.au> To: <aus-vic-geelong-district@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 5:09 PM Subject: Re: [GEELONG] Drowning > also check later newspapers and those where he originated from, sometimes > they copy or include notices such as this in their papers but can be > months > later. > Some newspaper articles even have for instance 'london papers please copy' > on the article. > If the regatta was postponed you could try and see if any records exist > for > it or even a report or a sailing club if it held it. > good luck > linda > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > For on-line indexes and information on Geelong and District > http://zades.com.au > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
