Hi Everyone
Its been a number of years since I last used RootsChat, which has been most useful In researching my Family name of VINCENT. I was adopted at birth in 1949 and have found out all the information that I needed to know, The most exciting part of that journey.was to find out after 57 years that I have a half brother and sister.
i am on another journey now and I wish to find out if anyone could help in finding any Death notices more than likely in Victorian Papers, of a Bruce Edawrd Williams. He committed suicide in a very messy way, on the 8th of November 1981 at the age of 42, he is buried at Springvale Cemetery in Outer Melbourne.
Any help would appreciated
Yours Respectively,
George

Maybe drop the VIC state library a email and see if they can check their older newspapers for any notices you are looking for.
