South Australia Death - Lawrence MERROTSY

[mclachlan]

Hello,
Wondering if some kind soul might be able to do a search for the Death Certificate of Lawrence Merrotsy.  Lawrence died 30 August 1905 in Angaston, Adelaide.  The certificate no. is 312/111.
Mainly wanting to know the name of his wife, parents and how long he lived in Australia.  I believe he came from Malta but am not sure if it was himself or his parents who actually immigrated.  I have also found his surname as Marotsia.  Any information would be much appreciated. 
Kind regards,
Andrea

4 sons and 2 daughters with father Lawrence Merrotsy, including George Lawrence, married in South Australia between 1886 and  1915. If you are interested in the details, we can post them for you.

His widow Susannah remarried twice if you would like those details. For both marriages, her father was given as Henry, Caufield for one and Canfield for the other.

Well found Essie.   

Lots of births if you just search using Ca*field as the mother's name and nothing else.......with so many different spellings. It'll take a while to type them up!
