Ancestor.co.za deaths
« on: Monday 28 September 09 23:21 BST (UK) »
Would appreciate help in deciphering the following death information please

Albert Rees Palmer - spouse Constance Palmer maiden name Maudsley died 1941
Albert Rees Palmer - spouse Constance Maudsley died 1942
Drusilla Palmer - maiden name Heale - spouse William John - died 1941

Points: 1. Why two entries for Albert Rees?
            2. Drusilla (Albert's mother) died in Gardenvale, City of Brighton, Melbourne in August 1941    and Albert is listed on her death certificate.

Confused - could someone help please - Valry

Hi there - according to NAAIRS the archive system, Albert died in 1942, his wife died in 1961. There is probably an error in transcription somewhere. You can order the cert through the genealogical society ( eggsa) - that will probably clear up any issues.

Thanks Ruth, will do that.   In the meantime, is it possible for you to confirm if the deaths were in the Johnannasburg area - appreciate Valry
