Unclaimed Letters .Sydney.
Febrary 15 1831
The following list of names was taken from the Sydney Gazette, transcribed by (7yo) old Pat Fawcett. (Thanks Pat!)
Febrary 15 1831
The letters are not waiting around in the year 2003 to be claimed! These types of lists were published in newspapers all over Australia, particularly pre 1860, due to an excess of mail waiting at the post office to be collected.
