Title: Robert Weatherhead - Woombye, Queensland
Post by: eileenwilson on Tuesday 25 March 25 00:36 GMT (UK)

My husband's 2nd great-uncle Robert Weatherhead emigrated from Ireland to Australia, but died in Ontario, Canada, while on a visit to the family here.  I've found reference to his estate in the Brisbane newspaper in 1923 and am wondering if it's possible to find the estate file.  The claimants named in the article are my husband's grandfather and siblings.

Apologies but I was only able to download the whole article, not just the piece I needed.
