Trev Sue-A-Quan,

Checked the Argosy index for all of the above names. The index only
provides the name and the year in which the BD or M notice appeared in
the newspaper.

Of the names you mentioned the only one in the index is McKay in
1885 and 1892.

The Argosy index is just 7 pages that I photocopied for my own use. I
am not sure of the politics of making copies and distributing them
around the world. However If I can help with any other names, just
ask.

Tikwis
