Index of Deserters of Wives and Children, Victoria 1880-1885Transcribed by Dale McDonell from microfiche indexes. These indexes (cover 1880-1895 in three separate editions) were compiled by Helen D. Harris OAM and published by her company, Harriland Press. The State Library is only one of many organisations which hold copies of these indexes. |
| Note from Dale McDonell: The transcriptions are as found on the microfiche. No further details are available from the transcriber. Many are truncated. You must go to the original sources from which these indexes were compiled (see ref. numbers and dates) for further details. The State Library of Victoria would be a good place to start. Italics in brackets are the transcribers clarifying comments. E.g: (Bendigo. D.M.) |
