South Africa / Simmer and Jack Hospital, Johannesburg
« on: Thursday 18 November 10 00:58 GMT (UK) »
I have recently discovered that an ancestor of mine died in Johannesburg in the Simmer and Jack Hospital. I understand that Simmer and Jack refers to a gold mineing company - my ancester was a tin miner from Cornwall. Is there anyway that I can find out what happened to him or where he might be buried? I suppose he could have been in a mining accident. His will was administered in London, England. He appears on the English census for 1871, 1881 and 1891 and he was married in Cornwall in 1894 so it would appear that he did not spend much time in South Africa. I have been unable to find any passenger lists for South Africa for the mid 1890s. I tried to see if I could find him on NAAIRS but had trouble navigating around the site.
Here are his details:
Daniel Huddy James PRYOR
Born: 1871 Gwavas, Sithney, Cornwall, England
Died: 10 April 1897 Johannesburg
Married: 1894 Cornwall to Clara
Any help would be much appreciated,
