For archival trivia watchers, I came across an unlikely source, 'Lost Things
in the Garden of Type ' by John Tranter in the Australian Book Review,
October 1997. (Get it from your library, as I did.)

Tonight 1,362 SMH deaths (representing 24 separate days) went into the
database, and I'm just about cross-eyed! Keep it up gang.

To the enquiry about Newtown Hospital?? It could be the South Sydney
Womens' Hospital, not far from where I grew up in Regent St. (l943-1950) or
Chelmsford St. Newtown. My sisters were born there, and maybe thats where
you may find your rellie. Also try the Newtown Family History Society,
Brown St. Newtown for more info. Good hunting. Sylvia Bowman.

Hi all!
Having just bought the 1881 census CDs, I tried to install the enclosed
Viewer CD. WIN98 said it couldn't access the CD. I checked that the
CD was properly in place in the drive, then tried again. When I went into
Windows Explorer to check that setup.exe was in fact there, the
computer hung.
I've checked the CD drive with another CD. It's OK.
Anyone else had similar problems? Input would be appreciated.
Regards......Edna W.

Accessing e-mail from interstate or overseas.
It is a good idea to access one's private e-mail address via Hotmail as
was suggested by Phil but one can also pay many ISP's a small monthly
redirect fee to have mail forwarded to an account with another ISP.
People often do this when they change ISP's. Some ISP's such as Ozemail
automatically also have read-only internet access to one's e-mail which
means that one can read one's e-mail on the web at any time without making
any special arrangements. If on
If someone was a railway porter in Sydney in the 1880's-1890's would there be records of employment still surviving and if so where would they be?
Also does anyone know if a Steam Mill Street still exists in Sydney . I have a copy from a birth certificate dated 1893 that states the family were living in this street . Have checked a Sydney street directory but I can't find it.

There's no need to get email redirected to Hotmail. In fact, most
big ISPs refuse to do it, for it means you no are longer dependant
on that ISP for all your internet needs. The solution is that
Hotmail can also access email at another POP account; you just
need to know the full name of your POP account, and hope that your
ISP will tell you that.

Feel free to spread the message far and wide, as you think fit.
However, I think you need to question the relevance of publishing details
of a Sydney death index before you contact various lists. As an example,

great interest in modern Sydney deaths. English coun
