Hi - interested to see that paper is now online but is there any way to read historical issues on the internet?

Also is there a way to check Catholic church records 1860 to 1864 period? Looking for McAneney, Daniel and Catherine and possible children in Cape Town area as they were sent to work for Mr Van Breda when they arrived on the 'Royal Charlie' from Ireland.
Thanks.
