in 1924 the Miners' Phthisis Board of Johannesburg was attempting to get in touch with Mrs Selina Garland, mother of the late Albert Garland, who they believed in 1916 was living in South Yardley Birmingham, and was 56.
Given that Albert Garland has Silicosis (aka Miners' Phthisis ) listed on his death record, this sounds like the right man. The date of 1916 might refer to when he signed up for WWI, giving his mother as next of kin.
