Hi all Well some of us older folk have short memories! The Australian four digit system only dates from 1967 (in common with most of the world, which adopted this system in the 1960s; presumably to aid new mechanical sorting systems. Germany was the first). Before that, in Australian cities, we had a method based on the British system of directional letters and numbers (although ours was more rational than theirs). For example, I lived in SE11, which became 3147. S10 was Beaumaris (consulting me old wall map of Melbourne, which is available for other look-ups as needed of course). And they were quite commonly used on letters, although not as universally as now.

Hi Grant, To my knowledge 'S-17' would not be an Australian code. Our codes are all 4 digits eg: Sydney 2000, Melbourne 3000 However there is a 'Largs' in Ayrshire, Scotland... http://www.largsonline.co.uk/largsonewhome.html http://www.scottish-towns.co.uk/ayrshire/largs/ though the postcode 'S-17 or S17' appears to outside of Sheffield... I checked the Victorian deaths to 1985 and could not find a Barbara Adam, nee Duncan. Probably not a bad idea to look for deaths under ADAMS as well. I had a quick look in our National Archives, but couldn't see anything relevant. http://www.naa.gov.au/the_collection/recordsearch.html You could write to them and see if they have a file on William & Barbara Adam.

MargM, Here is pretty much all that I know about Barbara and William. William Adam born Arbroath, Angus, Scotland 23 Nov 1888 (father James Adam (flaxmill worker) mother Elizabeth McKenzie) and Barbara Vannet Duncan born Carnoustie, Angus, Scotland 26 Dec 1888 (Father John Duncan (salmon fisher) mother Betsy Herd) were married in Dundee 10 August 1917. Soon after the first world war Barbara and William emigrated to Australia for William's health as he, like so many, had been gassed in the war. In the photo Barbara looks around 45-50 so dates the photo at around 1933-1938. The daughters, I would estimate, range from around 8 up to 17. I think I need to discover the two eldest girls yet, one may have been Margaret and one perhaps Elsie. There was another photograph, which I thought was a slightly younger Barbara in NSW (due to dragon on front cover of photo), but she is wearing glasses. I hope this helps a bit more and thanks again for everyones assistance!

Hi Sherrie, I was informed by a member of my local FHS that the Australian postal system was overhauled around 40 years ago. Regards, Grant

Hi Peita, That is them for sure, so thanks for that. Vannet was Barbara's middle name as she was named after her grandmother Barbara Vannet. I didn't know that there had been a boy and suspect that he was the one who died young as I had heard one child did. In the photograph there are five daughters and I then assume the eldest were either born in another area of Australia or even born in Scotland prior to emigrating. The former would be much more likely IMO. Thanks so much for this!

The Times Digital Archive has several citations on the SS Waratah. I only searched using the advanced search, with waratah, in shipping news, news and news in brief, from 1908. The main ones are from 2nd August 1909. No listing of passengers, only that 300 person were on board and all other articles indicate that ship was missing and that other ships were looking for. Nowhere did I see anything about who the passengers/crew were. Sorry. Maybe the Maritime deaths index, the miscellaneous series, of English births, deaths and marriages might list people - a suggestion only?

Thank you so much to all those who have indicated a willingness to assist. We have added another 20 indexers to our list in the past few hours. That's about all I can handle in one batch, and so applications have now closed. Rest assured, we'll have further opportunities in the future. John

The Ryerson Index currently has vacancies for indexers to work on back-indexing the Melbourne "Herald Sun" and the "Toowoomba Chronicle". The work is done remotely by email - we supply the indexing software, documentation, and scanned notices to be indexed. Results are returned by email. The work particularly suits people with research interests in either of the places being indexed, but this is not a requirement. All are welcome. If you would like to give it a try, please contact me off-list. John Graham
