These lists are from various Insurance Companies and refer to Australia wide.. The value to researchers is not in the hope of aiming money owing to families, but rather in the possibility of finding an address that your ancestors were living at.
They have name, address... many even giving the street number, the amount owing to them and the year that it was listed, which was 1958. This list wasn't published till 1966.. it's reasonable to assume that many had moved by then. If you find a name that could be of interest, but don't know any details, do search BDMs from the state/territory mentioned. Also, go to the researcher's bible, TROVE and see if there is anything there. Local family history groups for the place mentioned may also be able to help, as might the local councils or libraries.
Best of luck...
It seems some can't enlarge these pages... if so try this direct link..
