Subject: Request for Death Notice Lookups
Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2000 23:05:55 -0500 (EST)


Good evening all, and best wishes for the New Year. Being cheeky, I would
like to start the New Year with a plea for assistance.

I'm looking for any information on a Marie or Maria Twynam/Twinam, who
died, supposedly in Pretoria, supposedly about 1909-1910. She may have
been the wife of a James Twynam, who died in Cape Town in 1915. They had a
child, Florence, born, I think, about 1909; she was listed as a minor in
James' death notice.

I speculate that Marie/Maria may also appear under the name Gilmore, and
may possibly have died elsewhere. I would be *very* interested in anything
on Maria Gilmore. Other than that she had two children between 1907 and
1910, and was possibly born in Kimberley, I know nothing else about her.
My (admittedly wild) guess for her birth-date would be about 1890.

If anyone is able and willing to do these lookups, I would greatly
appreciate it. I'd be happy to pay reasonable costs.

Thanks in advance, best regards, Mike
