Searching for any trace of

Edward Cecil GAUNT, b. 30 July 1864
Parents: Edward & Emily  (nee RANSOM)
M. 1895   Ethel Adair GRANT -  Zeehan, Tasmania, Australia.    Think he was in the mining business - and being in Zeehan would kind of back that up I believe.   Can't see any evidence of children in Australia.

Died intestate - 'beyond the seas' - sometime between 12 June 1908 and 12 May 1934.   Ruling by court 10 Aug 1934.   No-one seems to know where or when and one can bet the state looked for him before ruling on the will!

Have searched all states of Australia to no avail.

Have been searching for his wife's death and his own via IGI, but without success.

Another relative who went missing turned up in South Africa and I suddenly thought it may well have been the same with this one - he was also in the mining business and probably knew  the first, who was his brother-in-law.

Any help with a search through the deaths in South Africa would be most welcome please.  You were brilliant last time - very quick and a successful result.
