Help with SA death, please
« on: Thursday 05 November 09 09:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi folks,

A new RC member is looking for info about a friend's grandfather.  He apparently died in Durban; the thread is here:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,417363.msg2831593.html#msg2831593

I offered to post a link here so that any SA experts could have a look at hte thread and see if you can help  ;)

Thanks!

Prue

Hi there,
Peter Ambrose Whittingham died in 2002 with his estate finalised in 2003. From his ID number we can tell his birth date which was 11 June 1921. if you write to the executors, you may get more info as they would have a copy of his death notice which should list family members and his parents.
Hope this helps.
Ruth
