Headlines of Old

Missing Friends..Trove Tuesday 16 Jun 2020, hundreds of names, great descriptions, occupations, published 1890 ..covers some earlier years, notification of some who were found, male and female, children and adults.. So many sad cases.. eg. The young Mum who left her 9 months old baby girl behind…The Irish man, native of Donegal, who had two names…and short and discoloured teeth..and what happened to Cornelius Brady from Co Tyrone?
Was it easier to disappear in this new colony, was it planned or just a spur of the moment…perhaps looking for a better life…
Pity I couldn’t go back in time and place a notice for John Goopy Snr …
