UNCLAIMED LETTERS... Trove Tuesday 10th May 2022

 

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..  You can click on the page images to enlarge..

I will leave you to explore further. Enjoy!
