I just meet with a 4th cousin once removed. She has a bunch of newspaper clippings from the 1800's. Most of them the word INSTANT, like On the 21st instant at 11 Thomaston Street. Others use the word ULTIMO, On the 30th ultimo at Millbrea Terrace. Can any one explain the use of these two words in birth, death and marriage announcements in the 1800's Tom
