New South Wales Police Gazettes
sometimes published as New South Wales Police Gazette and Weekly Record of Crime
however, they do mention some names of missing friends
from other states.
The descriptions are mostly very informative, often not only giving a physical description, but occupation, last known address, sometimes possible whereabouts, etc. They often mention family as well.
I'm always saddened to read of so many missing children.
What were their stories, why did they disappear? Were they abducted, were they mistreated or were they simply looking for a better life?
It's a relief when you read that a child has been found, though not always in the best of circumstances.
