Newspaper lookup please
« on: Friday 22 April 16 15:37 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone!!

I've a photo of the image I've attached, and for the life of me can't find any details about it on Trove, so I'm attaching it here in hope that someone else can help me. It's from the Sun News Pictoria 24 September 1926 and pertains to my great-great aunt's husband, Thomas Tighe

Thanks in advance,
Annie
The surnames, which I am interested in are; Maternal side: Ryan, Kevin, Grant, Grady, Gleeson, Walsh, Dwyer, Paternal side: O' Dwyer, Woodlock, Rochford & Britton - all in Tipperary; and Kelly and Hoynes in Laois.

Ryan, Campbell, Luttrell, Grant, Grahame, Bainbridge and Brown in Queensland, Australia

Tighe in Victoria, Australia.

Grant in Philadelphia, Sullivan and Penny in New York; and Britton in Connecticut

Hi Annie,

That newspaper has not been digitised but there was a small mention in the Age:

As Debra says that particular one hasn't been digitised by Trove but there are mentions in several other papers:

The ship Largs Bay carried 6762 passengers over 13 voyages to Western Australia up to 1926.

There is no entry on the WA death indexes.

A little on the ship including Photo.

Helllo....thank you so much for all your help. I'm in Ireland, and a bit daft using Trove, as not used to it. Thanks again  :)
