James Campbell Stephen,born 25/9/1871,in Aberdeenshire Scotland,sailed to Punta Arenas in 1897.Mary Ann Stephen followed in 1908.They were married in Punta Arenas on 9th October 1908.James's residence is given as Delgada,Patagonia.Their only child,Margaret Stephen was born on 8/10/1910 in Gaiman,Chubut,Argentina.James was a shepherd & died when Margaret was one year old.Mary returned to Strichen,Aberdeenshire with her daughter.Sadly Mary died when Margaret was only 5 years old,& is buried in Strichen graveyard.An inscription on the headstone gives the details (as above) of James's death,although his middle name is wrongly transcribed.I have read books,checked out websites on Patagonia etc. & searched scotlandspeople & English records,overseas deaths,consular returns etc, but cannot find his death recorded.I cannot find S.American newspapers around that period which may have reported his death. What should I do next?
