If your ancestor was a Gael from Scotland who made their way to Hobart in Tasmania, you may be interested to know that a run of the limited ten edition set of the Hobart-based newspaper, An Teachdaire Gàidhealach, from Feb-Nov 1857, has been digitised and made freely available to view online by the State Library of Victoria.
The publication is written entirely in Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig), and includes news from Scotland. From the catalogue entry at the library (http://search.slv.vic.gov.au/primo-explore/fulldisplay?vid=MAIN&docid=SLV_VOYAGER1043587) it looks like the title was reactivated again in 1981, with a further run until 1990, but this is the first limited run from 1857 only, which is out of copyright.
You can access the title freely at https://viewer.slv.vic.gov.au/?entity=IE5999133.
