Hi Priscilla,

Again many thanks for your reply so quickly. I too had found this one on the
NAAIRS, but don't believe it is my Annie. I just think that my Annie was not
listed on the NAAIRS for some reason. The person you discovered was married
to the wrong person. Also, my Annie was buried with her husband my
grandfather, James Taylor who died in 1945.

What I am really interested in is to how do I get a Death Notice from South
Africa?

Another kind person, did give me a possible link to Scotland saying my Annie
was born in 1874 in Strichen, Scotland, but I am hoping a Death Notice would
confirm this.

Thanks again.

Kind Regards,

Douglas
