Do you have any further information that you can provide to the prospective
kind soul who might do a lookup for you?

There are three regional newspaper areas in Tasmania (North, North-west and
South), and most repositories hold copies of the newspapers for all these
regions. It would help immensely and cut down on the potential work if you
could provide details of where these people lived.

This is a VERY GOOD GENERAL RULE for everyone to remember when asking for
lookup requests or other similar favours. Give as MUCH detail as possible
in order to help the searcher do the search.
