CECIL FOSTER ELVIN
« on: Thursday 28 July 11 22:39 BST (UK) »
Is there any way I can find out about CECIL FOSTER ELVIN who I believe was born abt 1907 in South Africa ?
I have a UK incoming passenger list with him and a Mrs S Elvin, possibly his mother.
Ancestry24 shows a Transvaal Estates Deceased Index for him, but it's a lot of money to pay for just one record.
Can anybody advise me please ?
many thanks
Judy

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I have already emailed dad.gov.za.
I have no experience of South African records but can I assume that 1967 is the death date ?
Would there be more to discover form the record below ?

Would this be a record of his estate and monies after death ? Similar to a will or probate record in the UK ?
