Davies gravestone
« on: Friday 15 September 17 14:24 BST (UK) »
Hi. 
I have been trying to locate my grandmother's gravestone details.  My grandmother was Helen Pinder Davies born 14 December 1893.  I need to know the date of her death.  When searching, a pic of her gravestone does not appear.
Hope you can help.

Welcome to Rootschat, Sharon.

In order to try to help you, I think we first of all need to know where in the world your grandmother, Helen Pinder Davies, lived.

Welcome from me too.  :)

I've asked a moderator to move your request to the S. Africa section where you might get some local advice.

I'll get this thread moved to the South Africa board.  Just as a matter of interest have you tried to locate her on the Family Search website?  https://www.familysearch.org/  They have a good coverage of South African records.  I can see her as the mother of Mercer John Davies.

There is the other half of that saying but I'm sure it doesn't apply to either of us - "fools never differ"
