Hi everyone Could someone please tell me what newspaper would cover the above time period and area. Also where would I like be best to read it. I live in Sunbury which is an outer suburb of Melbourne. I am hoping that there may be an obituary of some kind for my great grandmother Amelia DUNBABIN nee ALLEN who died on 7th August 1934 at the age of 99 years. I am hoping that because of her age, and the fact that she lived in the area from about 1870'ish to her death that she would be listed in the local paper. Regards Joy Light
Joy, The State Library has the "Western Port Times" on micro film 1898 - 1910. It would be worth checking with them to see if they have later editions in hard copy.
