Death Query - South Australia - WALTON (Grace) buried 1941
« on: Tuesday 24 March 15 08:01 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I have been trying to find the death of my GG grandmother (Grace Walton) in South Australia. Walton being her married name from her second marriage in 1910 to Jesse Walton. Her maiden name was Thomas. Her first marriage was to Richard Mitchell.

I have previously searched http://www.genealogysa.org.au, Ancestry and Find my past without finding anything but today I just found a cemetery record here http://www.aca.sa.gov.au/recordssearch.aspx  for a Grace Walton aged 92 (age matches) -

Name: Walton, Grace
Date of Death: 01 December 1941
Age: 92 Years
Last Abode: NORTH ADELAIDE
Service Type: Burial

I don't know if this is my GG grandmother but I went and did another check of the 3 above sites with Grace Walton and the year of death being 1941 but still nothing comes up.

1: Why wouldn't it be in the above indexes?
2: if someone has the actual CD"s could you please do a search?

Thank you.

Sandra

Firstly the dates of deaths are actually the dates of burials on that website.  They will correct it if requested.

Mistranscribed surname.

WATTON Grace  92 years  Status Widow  Relative Thomas Jess WATTON [sic] Deceased husband.
29 Nov 1941
Residence Lower North Adelaide  Death Place Adelaide  Ade H 643/5753

Symbol H indicates Grace died in a hospital or place of care.
