Hellen Hannah Rettberg or Redburg who it is said died in 1924 in Adelaide. Her husband was Gustave Paul Theodore Rettberg who died June 1900. I have his details. Given the SA entries in the index to 1916 only show the informant & not the parents then it is possible one of her children was an informant. If so there was a son George and a daughter Emmie Helen (married name of Parham). Hellen's maiden name was Cattach.
Any help greatly appreciated. I found her death on another website however she is listed as deceased on her father's death certificate in 1877. Given she never married until 1879 then I think the cert is incorrect but I'd like to prove either way.
any help appreciated
regards
Debra

thank you both for all this information. It is all for the family I am researching. I'd not checked the war records but I will now as it seems George (the son) did very well in so far as promotions went.
I was also not aware that the Adelaide Advertiser was available on line so will make good use of that facility.
Again thank you very much, you have confirmed what I had and added more information to it.
kind regards
Debra
