A cousin of my father's recently died in SA. She was born in Malaya 1919 and during her life married 3 times but had no children.
Are BDM indexes available for SA and would I be able to purchase a death certificate?
Many thanks
Trish

Hi again,
We have a very good archive system for death notices but there is about a 20 year restriction - If you give me deatils of where, when how names etc I will see what I can find. The NAAIRS site would give you clues to her divorces if they happened here.
BMD are goverment controlled and very difficult to access!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but there are only ways and means of finding things!
Just let me know what I can do to help.

Hi Bob,
There is a lot of transcription going on at the moment and there are a lot of marriages transcribed around 1900's in Natal but also do a search on the south african british immigrants roorsweb mailing lists as they are posted there - otherwise give me a shout.

Its a wonder anyone talks to me on RootsChat - I get so confused about my relatives. When I went to check my SA lady, I had confused her with a cousin who married 3 times. I only have 1 marriage listed for this lady - but it did end in divorce.
Her name was Mamie Elizabeth (known as Su) CALLAN b. 5.Aug.1919 I don't know when/where she married but in 1992 she was in South Africa & in 1995 apparently in Blackheath (Is this a suburb of Joberg - because I had thought that was where she lived). Her married name in 1995 was KLARER. She died last year or early this year. I may be able to get a closer date.
Her parents were Thomas Callan and Fannie Roche.
She had no children.

Hi Ruth,
thanks for the PM
I don't have a lot to go on, really, so this is more of a sideline quest:
My uncle's grandfather Harry Mörser was living in SA in 1900 when his fiancée, Edith Caldecott, came out to join him.
He married her "straight off the boat"
Romantic, huh ??
Apparantly not, because the story then goes, that he had deliberately married her in SA as she had very few rights there as a wife, which meant is was easier for him, when he divorced her some years later !!
They had a daughter, Frances Morser. Her mother had insisted that Harry Mörser (who originally came from Austria) lose the ö, which then became an o
And that's all I know !
So if you, or anybody else, sees anything "on their travels" to augment that, it would be great !
Thanks,
Bob
