HEADLINES OF OLD
UNCLAIMED LETTERS Trove Tuesday, 17th Aug 2021, published in Government Gazette, notices give names as addressed on envelopes, but only part of an address.. just the place that letter was sent to. Still interesting, but as always, these would have been destroyed many years ago, without any hope of reading them. They still may give us an idea of where our ancestors may have travelled to. I have included a couple of possible connections, but have no way of knowing if they are the same person listed in the notice.
Feel free to share… the title is the link.
