Notices from the South Australia Register

This is a list of the notices that were put in the South Australian News Paper "The Register" between 1836 and 1859 which have a Dorset Connection. These entries were extracted by Jill Morley from. 'Register Personal Notices' Edited By Reg Butler and Alan Phillips and published 1990 by Gould Books in South Australia. Some explanatory notes have been added by Jill Morley.

Volume 1 (1836 - 1859)

Volume 2 (1860 - 1865)

Volume 3 (1866 - 1870)

It should be noted that these entries, with one exception, are only those which explicitly mention the county of Dorset. There will of be course be entries for other Dorset immigrants and there are descendants of some of these people listed but one would have to study these three books thoroughly. Copies of these and other Australian Genealogy books can be obtained from Gould Genealogy in South Australia at:
