First published in 1887 in Devonport (then called Formby), the North-West Post concentrated its news gathering around the areas from Penguin to Devonport and inland township such as Sheffield, Gawler, Sprent, Sassafras & Latrobe.
It consists mostly of local news and focuses on people and local advertising. Included in these publications is information taken from paid notices of births, deaths and marriages, obituaries, descriptions of weddings, removals from the district and descriptive articles by news reporters visiting country districts.
The index provides sufficient information to identify an individual but as with all indexes, the original entry should then be viewed.
