    Dave,

    The image isn't enlarging enough for me to make out anything more than 'Third schedule, deaths in the district of . . '.

    I'm no techie, and there may be a simple solution, but otherwise can you post the image in sections? As there is probably more than one marriage on the page it would help if we knew their names, unless the place-name is the one at the top of the page. A clue to which country it might be would also be helpful.

    Have you got bionic eyes, Alma, or just a very strong magnifying glass?

    I'm now on my laptop and wondered if my problem might have been caused by being on my tablet before, but the image is no larger than before.

    I've got really rubbish eyesight, Pam. I used ctrl and + which enlarges the image, it did put it a bit out of focus but I could just about make it out.

    The Age from Melbourne January 6, 1969 refers to Yananouga in an article I can't access
    " Three teenage girls .were Injured at Yananouga yesterday when a- speedboat they were driving got out of control and hit a concrete ramp at Lake Mulwallah" So in Victoria Australia and the image posted does say Births In the Colony of Victoria

    It also enlarges the ads!

    Though I was able to clarify that it said 'Schedule A births' and not 'Schedule D deaths'. Not a lot of difference.

    With you on the 'no marriages' though.
