Headlines of Old

UNCLAIMED MONEY Trove Tuesday 13th Sept 2022, over several states, some mentioned as immigrants- including Irish born, some from societies or companies… These are well past being able to be claimed.

However unclaimed money lists still appear today, just do a search… Some of the more recent ones can be claimed, e.g. deposits on utilities that weren’t claimed once a rented house was left…
