NSW Newspaper Death Notice Look ups 1980's
« on: Saturday 26 December 15 04:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I was wondering if some kind soul would be able to photograph and send to me the following people's death notices please (sorry unsure what newspaper they would be in as I don't live in Australia)?

* Milhum (William) HADAD
   Died on 05 May 1980 in Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia (buried on 08 May 1980)

* Peter RUMBIS
   Died on 04 September 1985 in Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia (buried on 09 September 1985)

* Olga (Mary) RUMBIS (formerly BETAR, nee JOHNS)
   Died on 20 March 1998 in Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia (buried on 25 March 1998)

* Matilda (Ann) HADAD (nee JOHNS or NIDAF)
   Died on 11 August 2000 in Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia (buried on 15 August 2000)

I am hoping there death notices might better assist me with research into these 2 sisters as I don't know to much about them, there husbands or children.

Many thanks and kind regards

Michaela :) :) :)

I think the deaths are too recent to be included but I entered a couple of your names here and received some results for other things:
http://trove.nla.gov.au/

Have a search here though:
http://www.ryersonindex.org/

Keep in mind that not everyone placed a death notice in the newspaper, and not all gave information about family of the deceased.

Michaela: I have had a look on the Ryerson Index, and none of the names you are interested in are there. This could be because no one has transcribed from the paper, or that there was no notice in the paper.

The local paper for Broken Hill is the Barrier Daily Truth. The Barrier Miner went out of business in about 1974.

Trove, which is the digitisation of Australian papers only goes to 1954 at this time.

Possibly a Rootschatter from Broken Hill could help.

Not everyone published death notices and often ones published only state husband of, wife of etc.

Transcriptions of these marriage registrations would give you the bride's ages and places of birth and the names of their parents including their mother's maiden name.

From NSW BDM website
Family history transcription agents provide full and partial transcriptions, or verification of details. A good idea if you only need the facts, and not full certified copies of certificates. For more details and fees, see below.
