Wills for the following people can be found via the PROV website.
John McDonough, Richard Fountain, John F Rutter, Joseph George Jennings,
These documents are easy to access via the Public Records Office. Researchers could look for names linked with Cardinia, Cranbourne and Clyde. This list does not include all people who once lived in Clyde.
Often Clyde people registered their births and marriages as being in Cranbourne and so it is with death and wills.
