Transvaal records - Pretoria(Completed)
« on: Saturday 24 November 12 15:11 GMT (UK) »
Hi all ,

Found a reference in the NAAIRS site for my Henry Payne who died in Transvaal in 1908.
Does anyone know if these record are held in Pretoria ?
Depot - TAB
Source - MHG
Type - LEER

I might have someone who is willing to have a look rather than ordering online.

Thanks

Even better than a Scottish death certificate since it names all his children.
Now back another 2 generations thanks to this death notice.  :)
