Subject: Death Notice Help
Date: Mon, 09 Aug 2004 14:59:02 +1000


Dear Listers,

I have been slowly finding out details about my grandmother over the years.
However, now I have an urgency. I am travelling to Scotland next month,
September and would love to know where my grandmother was exactly born. I
have searched the NAAIRS without success. All I know is she was born in
Scotland and died in South Africa. Earlier this year I found out where and
when she died. I received her death certificate from the Dept of Home
Affairs but it told me little. However, a few years ago the kind Tess King
helped me find my father's connection with a copy she made of his Death
Notice.

I have her death certificate, but it reveals very little except her age at
death and day of death and cause of death and I know where she is buried.

Would some kind dear soul help out with getting the information from a Death
Notice? There is not enough time left from my end to apply through the South
African Embassy in Australia otherwise I would do it myself before
travvelling to Scotland. I would willingly repay the favour if I can, by
finding out something for you in the UK or Australia.

Here are the details as I have them.

Name: Ann (Annie) Robertson Taylor (nee Watt)
Place of birth: Scotland
Age at death: 64 years old (which means she was born in 1874 or early 1875)
Date of death: February 3, 1939
Reference #: Johannesburg 813/39
Residence: 96 Plein Street, Johannesburg
Cause of death: Lymphatic Leukemia
Date of burial: February 13, 1939
Place of burial: Grave # 11663, General Section, Brixton Cemetery,
Johannesburg.

I need the details of Annie from her Death Notice.

Thanking you,

Douglas A. Taylor
