June Fox. Las Vegas and New York

[bronnie]

Posting on behalf of a friend who wants to find out about the burial details and any additional information about June Fox, born 17/11/1928 London, emigrated to US 1954-56, believed deceased in US in 2013.

My friend found a June Fox 17/11/1928 in Las Vegas on a 1979 Naturalisation record, also stating a name change to McCafferty. My friend has a copy of June's father's will and June is named as McCafferty there too.   

My friend found a 2013 death record for June Fox (not June McCafferty) date of birth 17/11/1928, but in District of Columbia.

I wonder if anyone can shed any further light on this lady?

Thank you very much in advance.

I see the 1979 record which is signed June Fox so not sure where McCafferty has come from 

Just to clarify was she born as June Fox?  I take it she wasn't married when she emigrated - or is it the other way round and she was born June McCafferty.

That's the Naturalisation record my friend found.

She was born June Fox

In June's father's will dated 1967, June is a married woman June McCafferty living in New York.

In June's aunt's will dated 2006, June is referred to as June Fox living in Las Vegas.

Unless Social Security has changed her name June Fox had her Social Security Number issued in 1956 in Washington DC using the June Fox name. Getting a copy of her application may help.

Thank you. I have no experience myself of US records. Is there anywhere that could be searched for an obituary or will?

You can request a copy of a deceased person's application for Social Security here:
https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-711.pdf

but it won't tell you anything you don't know, except where she was living in 1956 when she applied for a SS number and whether she could sign her own name. Her parents' names - which it sounds like you know anyway - will be redacted, since June was born less than 100 years ago, if I remember correctly.

Is her middle initial "N" ? If so, the people finder sites have her in the western states, not in Washington DC
veromi.net, which usually puts the most recent address first, says:

TUCSON, AZ
LAS VEGAS, NV 89142
HENDERSON, NV 89014
SAINT GEORGE, UT 84790

If you search familyseach.org for June Fox in Tucson she shows up, born 17 November 1928. They only have her in Tucson and Las Vegas.

If she was living in Tucson when she died in Washington DC, then

https://www.recorder.pima.gov/otheroffices
might be good place to start for a will, and maybe even a death record if it was recorded in her home state. It lists the various government offices in the county that handle the different records.


For DC deaths, it looks like:
https://dchealth.dc.gov/service/death-certificates

is the place to go.

If the links aren't the right government department, just google what you are looking for, that's all I did.

by the way, Googling "June Fox" is a terrible experience. All I get are things that happened in June or were covered by Fox news. It reminds me of trying to find my wife's Page family. I wish there was a way to tell Google you were looking for a person, not a date, news outlet, or part of a book.

Thank you for your help and the links Oldohiohome!

My friend has June Fox birth cert (born London 17/11/1928), no middle name stated on birth certificate.

She has been unable to find a marriage for June Fox and Mr McCafferty.

I know what you mean re Google!

If the record that you're referring to your friend finding about the District of Columbia was the Social Security Death Index, that index does not ever give a place of death.  I wouldn't bother spending money to order a death certificate unless you know or have a reasonably good idea of the place of death.
