Death record for a Moses Hodgson, Johannesburg, Guateng btwn 1910-1914
« on: Wednesday 14 August 13 14:49 BST (UK) »
How do I go about finding the actual date of death for my g-grandfather Moses Hodgson b. 1854 and died between 1910 and 1914 (when his wife and children returned to England)? is there a way to look it up as I am in Canada and cannot search for it myself. He worked in the gold mines and did die in Johannesburg od silicosis or miners TB. His wife was Ann Hodgson.

Thank you kindly for any direction with this.

The best resource is the South African national archives online. I've used that extensively to search from abroad. But, alas, I can't find Moses anywhere there? You may need to use a researcher?
