Leslie Child-Smith

[antconan]

Good day

Was wondering if someone can help somehow? I'm pretty new to all this ... I am just trying to find any information about my father whom my mother hardly knew. Sounds weird but will give you the run down: His name is Leslie Child-Smith (not sure if there is a hyphen or not), I think he was 27 and died the year before I was born in 1976 in Durban city centre near the old Field or Gardner Street, he had fallen from a window at his block of flats. My mother briefly knew him for about 5 months but knew he was divorced and had 2 daughters. She also told me that he was buried at Stellawood Cemetry but have yet to find anything.

I'm not sure if anyone would be able to assist but would appreciate anything?

Kind regards

This could be the divorce proceedings.

Reference:5341
Description:Illiquid Case, Restitution of conjugal rights.Anna Elizabeth Jeanetta Anneline CHILDSMITH ( born De Jongh) versus Kenneth Leslie CHILDSMITH.

I can find only one reference to a CHILDSMITH buried in the Stellawood cemetery but he died in 1920.
