Unclaimed letters can be intriguing. You can't help but scour the lists in the hope that you will see a familiar name.
Before we explore them further, let me answer the same questions I am always asked when I post these lists..
" NO, they aren't available for researchers, or anyone else to read."
"Yes, they most likely have been destroyed."
"Sorry, I have no way of knowing if any of these people mentioned have been found."
Of course, that won't stop us wondering.. what if? I have included a couple of possibilities, though I have no idea as to whether these are actually a match for the names selected. Nice to dream...
The 20 pages included here are just a fraction of the 206 pages that were in this Gazette..I will leave you to explore further. Link below. Enjoy!
