Hi Trish

Have just received a reply to an email i sent to the Newcastle Library yesterday and they do have the SMH for 1970 .... yeehaa ... now just have to get there.

They don't have the Illawarra Mercury though. Fingers crossed  that i find something in the SMH.

I hope to get to the library on Tuesday and can look it up for you (i already have it marked in my 'things to do at Library').  So, if you are not going before Tuesday then I will look up for you.  I am familiar with the SMH because I have done a lot of research in it.  I can see if the Illawarra Mercury is there also.

Cheers

Reg

OK Jaki.  I have been to the library and found the death notice and the funeral notice in the Illawarra Mercury.  I have taken a scan of them for you.  I will PM you.

Hope this works.  Re your message "John George Hall was my great grandfather's brother ... didn't think i would ever find anything about him."  My husband has a John George Hall in his family tree, born Sydney 1965 to William and Agnes.  Any connection?

Hi Helen

Sorry no connection. My John George Hall and his brothers were all born in Warwickshire to George and Ann. My lot of Halls didn't arrive in Australia until around 1920.
