Hello Joy, I hope that I can help..... do you have the cutting from the newspaper? If not the State Library of Victoria will have the papers themselves and and microfiche. If you can't get to the library (I don't know where you are situated) if you look on their website http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/services/copy_supply/photography/prices.html you will find how to order it if need be. also regarding the 1,000 pounds, my father paid 1,000 for a car in 1958, so a no insignificant amount of money Regards, Anne, Melbourne

Anne Thanks for your reply, no I don't have a copy of the article, don't even have an actual date, just this vague mention in the family history article that was given to me by a relative. The thought of searching EVERY paper for 1958 is fairly daunting. Though one of these years, I will have to go through all the engagement notices for 1959 to early 1960 to have hopefully an engagement notice for my half sister to see if I can trace her down that way. I live in Sunbury by the way Regards Joy
