I know that Elizabeth (Bertha) O'FEE married James Arthur BURNE in Dundee, Scotland and they then emigrated, apparently to Durban. I have been having a bit of a poke around the NASA site and have found this record
DEPOT NAB
SOURCE MSCE
TYPE LEER
VOLUME_NO 00
SYSTEM 01
REFERENCE 549/1949
PART 1
DESCRIPTION BURNE, JAMES ARTHUR. S/SP BURNE, ELIZABETH.
STARTING 19490000
ENDING 19490000
I've been looking for something that tells me what type of reord this is and what it means but I can't find anything on the site. Presumably Type, LEER means something - can anybody help me out with this
Thanks
ec

Translated this means!!!
Depot Natal
Source master of the supreme court - ie death notice
type folder
reference etc etc
burne james arthur surving spouse elizabeth Burne.
Died 1949
using these reference numbers you could email the archives but I do not think you will get a reply as they are understaffed. I could apply for the death cert for you but it could take a month or so. this will tell you his children where born where died etc
This is just the reference to the folder to be found in the archives in Pitermaritzburg, which covers Durban ,where i live, as well. There may also be a will attached to the document.
let me know what you want to do.

Ps There are a few Burnes in Durban - dont know if they are realted though

Hi Ruth
Thanks for getting back to me on this - always confusing when you start on a new area!
Elizabeth (O'FEE) Burne was, I believe my great grandfathers sister. The only detail I have is that they emigrated after marriage and the trail goes cold.
Obviously she will be dead as well - why can't I find an entry for her do you think?
I have no idea of any childrens names etc.
How much would the death cert cost? I am a bit short of funds at the moment....like us all!
Thanks again
ec

Hi there death certs are minimal - about 30p!!!! So it is not going to break the bank if you want me to order it for you. This will list the children. Her death notice may not be there if she left no property - i will see what I can dig up.
When were the couple married as I have found a number of Burnes on a cemetery disc.

Oh great - I'm sure I can scrape up 30p - not sur how to get it to you though.....How amazingly cheap compared to everywhere else I'm searching!
They were married 1918 in Dundee, Scotland, and as I understand it, departed almost immediately for Durban. Elizabeth (Bertha) O'FEE was born around 1898 - not sure about James BURNE though.
Thanks very much for helping me

I'll order it for you and let you know the details - the Burne deaths I have are all earlier than that. I am sure that one of the Burnes in Durban might have some info - Ill do a phone around tomorrow - there is one up the road from me.

You can also try getting a copy of the death notice (not a death certificate)from the estae file............you can request 3, free of charge at: pmbarchives@kznedu.kzntl.gov.za. My last request only took about a week to get so that's not too bad. On that you might get info of childrens names etc, address of last residence, etc depending on who was present to supply the information. Usually a wife knows a fair amount about her husband so you'll get more from the DN .........if it was a child or other relative you might very little info on it
You'll need to give them the reference as you've given above.
Good Luck
Lynn
