Hi Diane

You could try using the services of the kind volunteers at the Ryerson Index.

I suggest you contact the Wollongong Library for a copy of the death notice. There is an online enquiry form....

I understand that there isn't a volunteer to actually do lookups for the Illawarra Mercury as many of the death notices were transcribed from a index of death notices compiled by a family history group.  Cant recall the exact details at the moment.

Cheers  :)

Australian Electoral Roll
1980
HANNAM Olive 89 Corrimal Street, Wollongong
HANNAM Walter Lionel  89 Corrimal Street, Wollongong [occupation obliterated however in 1968 he was a clerk]

Walter died 25 May 2000 - notice in Illawarra Mercury 30 May 2000.

I like Olive's occupation in 1949...a chocolate wrapper ;)

Cheers
