National Library of Australia
« on: Wednesday 12 November 08 13:20 GMT (UK) »
The NLof A has just come up with some information I would like to see.  But you have to have a library card and these are only available if you live in Australia and as some of you know I live in Spain.

Does anyone have any bright ideas as to how I can access this information?

Regards,
Abiam

Thanks Jenn,

I have said I will find out about a family in South Australia for an elderly friend.  I may well have bitten off more than I can chew!  Two names that occur are Frederick Britten Burden and John Langdon Bonythorn and as SA does not have much on line I think I may be asking for help fairly soon!

Thanks for your suggestion I will have a look now,
Regards,
Abiam

Have  you  also  looked  at the SLSA (State Library of South Australia)?

Ask away  if you  need any help

Hi Abian,
Sir John Langdon Bonython is a famous political figure in SA. It would be worth contacting the SA state library.
I will contact you with some information I have that is too large to post.
Might take me a little while to get it together.
Cheers
