Hi Kay, All - Thanks so much for all the lists you've posted from your recent delvings. Haven't had time to study them in-depth yet - but they look wonderful! I've just bought the new Inquest Index, Victoria, 1840-1985 from Macbeths. I've extracted all the JOLLY/JOLLEY references (62) - pasted in below. The inquest documents themselves are available from the PROV in Melbourne. I'd be happy to order photocopies for listers who find a rellie and can't make a personal visit to the archives. Cheers, Victoria. Digger - Inquest Index.
