The Argus Death Notice/Obituary
« on: Sunday 06 December 15 08:45 GMT (UK) »
Would someone be able to look at the Argus Newspaper for a death notice or obituary for Edna Beryl WYETT? She died on the December 1967 and was from East Malvern (Originally Beaconsfield in Tasmania) I believe she may have been a Saprano, hoping there maybe an obituary that might mention it.

Thanks

Sorry to seem a bit confused here. :P

Her father's name was not SAPRANO

Was she married at one time to someone named SAPRANO?

Or do you mean she was a singer in the range of soprano?

A Saprono as in a singer. Her father was George Bagster Wyett and her mother was Hannah Louisa Dando.

You can search yourself if you are looking for details of her possible career:

I am extremely familiar with Trove, the newspaper I am after in 1967. Trove only has until 1954, so it obviously inst going to give me an obituary or death notice.

You can search 'The Age' newspaper for some dates in 1967-1968:
