Search in the 'Register' south australia
« on: Tuesday 02 January 07 02:34 GMT (UK) »
Hi, if anyone out there is heading in to the state library would you be able to do a look up in the Newspaper called the 'Register' for 1907
I am looking for George Wilks Obit which is in the 13th July 1907 paper
Meningie P9d.

If no such paper exists could you let me know, I have tried to do a search on the net to see if there are archieves for this paper, but I could not see for sure if there was or not.

I am hoping the obit might give me alittle more info about him.
Does the South Australian Death Certifcates give you the amount of time someone has been in Australia?  I have the info from the BISA but it only gives a rough idea of when he come over and I have searched the passenger lists online and have had no luck at all in finding him.

Thank you
Megan

Hi Megan

I recently found an obit for an ancestor on the SA State Library site in the Manning Index, is this where you obtained the information?

I left a message with the details and received a copy in the post within 5 days and it told me so much about my ancestors life, more than I thought I would ever find out.

There is a place where you can leave requests, maybe under services
