Fine so far, altho you could put a specific query about Mary O's death in ? Austria / Australia ? in a relevant Forum I guess - browse thru the list on the 'Forum' link above (the buttons with green leaves)

Hi RPCW

We spoke in the chatroom yesterday about Mary Octavia.

Just a thought.  Have you looked at the local papers at the time Mary's death was reported?  I think her home was in Bucks at the time of her death?

Thanks again... yes, Austria actually...forgive my spelling..

[Mort29]

Yes, she and two kids were in the Wycombe District of Bucks in the 1911 census.

Hello again Barbara... Yes I will try local papers for High Wycombe... but do you think I will have to go there ( from West Wales ) or do you think it could be done online?

[RPCW]

By the way, I have ordered a copy of her will or Administration Papers if they can be found...

[Mort29]

You might find a Death entry in the Consular Deaths Index, and be able to order a Certificate.

Hi again

I think the first thing to do is to check where the papers are held.  Then see what look up facilities are offered.  As you have a definite date for her death that narrows down the search.

Or you could post the Times Death announcement here and ask if anyone can help with a look up in the local paper.  Probably best to do that on the Bucks board....but link the request to this one so that people know the background.
