select from table using 2 columns as unique

Hi

How do I select from a single table using 2 columns (surname,postcode)
as the unique criteria?

e.g.

"Surname","Forename","Salutation","Postcode"
"Bear","Daddy","Mr","CT10 7AF"
"Bear","Mummy","Mrs","CT10 7AF"
"Bear","Baby","Miss","CT10 7AF"
"Piggy","Daddy","Mr","CT10 7AF"
"Piggy","Mummy","Mrs","CT10 7AF"
"Piggy","Baby","Miss","CT10 7AF"
"Piggy","Cousin","Ms","CT10 7AF"

would return just the following 2 rows:-

"Bear","Daddy","Mr","CT10 7AF"
"Piggy","Daddy","Mr","CT10 7AF"

I don't mind whether it's the first unique row or the last unque row.
All I am
interested in removing the duplicates.

Thanks!
